Biography
I am an Assistant Professor in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape at the University of Calgary. My research lies at intersection of building technology, sustainability, and human well-being to work towards creating living environments that are not only energy efficient but also comfortable, health-focused and adaptable.
At the University of Calgary, my research program focuses on three core areas: uncovering empirical links between indoor environmental parameters and human health outcomes; advancing the design of building envelopes to optimize daylight and occupant comfort; and translating behavioural findings into evidence-based design strategies for healthier, equitable, and sustainable built environments.
I am trained as an architect and hold a Ph.D. in Building Science from EPFL (Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland). I completed my postdoctoral scholarship in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University and a research fellowship at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab.
