Research interests
He has a PhD in Architectural Engineering, and his research focuses on energy efficiency, hygrothermal analysis, and verification of building envelopes to develop better performing and more resilient buildings in the context of climate change. Degradation, stochastic, and regression analyses are used to study the probabilistic outcomes and long-term behavior of buildings. In addition to validating novel retrofit assemblies with physical testing, material testing is performed in his lab to explore the hygroscopicity of biogenic materials such as biochars and insulations.
