About

Sustainable development revolves around the impact of buildings on the environment and the climate. I work on context specific building solutions for having adequate human comfort (thermal and visual) while decreasing the energy use and improving performance. Building assessment tools are required to inform these solutions and make the building live up to the predictions. I possess a strong background in all areas of design, construction, modelling and technical skills in sustainable environmental designing. Technically I am also trained in Energy modelling, Daylight and artificial light design, low carbon design and renewable energy applications. I work and teach as a sustainable habitat consultant and my research interest is in assessing building design thermal and visual performance (predicted vs actual), energy use optimisation, etc. I consider a role as an academic and a tutor, to be an integral part of sustaining my objective Working on of solar passive and low (zero) carbon design. I collaboratively work with students to create a space where informed decisions can be taken for taking sustainability in the built environment’s agenda forward.

Research Fellow - KTP Associate

Jun 2019Mar 2022 · 2 yrs 9 mos

  • Project funded by Innovate UK and DesignBuilder Software focuses on building energy simulation, model calibration and operation stage performance validation. This involves investigating the energy and environmental performance of real buildings and through model calibration determining and validating root causes of the performance gap. The project encompasses understanding of building performance issues in energy and indoor environment quality, their interrelationships and how simulation model calibration can facilitate the M&V process.

Doctoral Researcher

Apr 2016Jan 2021 · 4 yrs 9 mos

  • As a part of my PhD I have been exploring building performance simulation space and developing new tools for advanced energy and indoor environment analysis. The primary use of these new tools and protocols is to undertake simulation model calibration, uncertainty analysis and sensitivity analysis. The work is based on case studies where data collected about these buildings, their characteristics and performance (energy and IEQ) is used to understand the performance issues and identify improvement opportunities. Model calibration is used to support the findings and validate them.

Postgraduate Teaching Assistant

Aug 2018Jun 2019 · 10 mos · London, United Kingdom

  • The position for general MSc programme supports for MSc Health, Wellbeing and Sustainable Buildings Program and MSc Smart Buildings and Digital Engineering Programs. The primary role is to develop course content and teaching for energy simulation related modules that requires use of DesignBuilder Software. Computing Week using DesignBuilder is the main course for which I developed the course content and delivered it for the MSc students.
  • I am also responsible for delivering tutorials and lectures for three more courses:
  •  Building Systems Development and Operation
  •  Indoor Air Quality in Buildings
  •  Integrated Building Design for Health and Wellbeing.
  • In all these courses I also provided any support or guidance required by students for using energy modelling tools.
