Program: London–Loughborough EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Energy Demand

Research Overview

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.
