I am an experienced building physics researcher focused on the critical nexus between the built environment, indoor environmental quality (IEQ), the climate, and human health. My work integrates empirical measurements, advanced modeling, and data-driven analysis to examine how buildings shape indoor environmental conditions and in turn how this impacts occupant comfort, well-being and physical health. I develop integrated frameworks that account for energy use, economic factors, carbon emissions, and health outcomes to inform sustainable design and climate-resilient policies. My research bridges engineering, public health, and environmental science to address complex challenges.

École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland
Leading the IEQ aspect of a large-scale multi-year EU-Horizon funded project (RENOMIZE), conducting empirical research on indoor environmental quality and ventilation for occupied buildings undergoing prefabricated robotic retrofit.
University College London, Institute for Environmental Design and Engineering
Research fellow responsible for developing and upgrading NBM-Health, a Python-based bottom-up household level health impact model. This involved detailed evidence assessments, translating and integrating this into a policy evaluation tool for quantifying health impacts of home energy efficiency interventions in the English housing stock.
University College London, Energy Institute, London–Loughborough EPSRC CDT
Conducted doctoral research examining the relationship between ventilation practices and indoor environmental quality in British homes. This encompassed the design and deployment of high spatio-temporal resolution IEQ and event monitoring systems in occupied dwellings, administration of occupant surveys, and advanced data analysis employing multivariable statistical methods and machine learning techniques to investigate human-building interactions and their impact on indoor environmental conditions.
Post graduate teaching assistant for the Smart Distributed Energy Systems (BENV0144) module on the Smart Energy and the Built Environment MSc. I was responsible for preparing lecture material, delivering lectures, assisting with tutorial sessions, marking dissertations, and providing student support.
Guest lecturer for the MSc Sustainable Building Design module. I delivered an interactive lecture on the relationship between theoretical building physics, passive design and architectural form in practice.
Guest lecture for the BEng (Hons) Building Services Engineering building physics modelling module. I led a practical session and tutorial demonstrating the use of IES VE for dynamic thermal simulation, energy and carbon emissions modeling.
During my time as a Chartered professional building physicist and engineer, I have mentored and supported numerous undergraduate, graduate and senior engineers to obtain Chartership (e.g., CEng, MCIBSE).
