I teach in energy systems and energy-efficient buildings. I have multidisciplinary research in energy and buildings with a focus on urban energy systems. I'm the director of the doctoral program - Energy Systems in the Built Environment.
I have educational background in heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) for bachelor degree, sustainable building design for master degree, solar energy systems for PhD degree and global energy for MBA degree.
I drive my research direction gradually from single energy system to the coupled areas of buildings, energy system, resource efficiency, mobility and data analytics at different scales within the built environment. This is part of regenerative approach for buildings, communities and cities.
I have interdisciplinary researches from two main streams:
Meanwhile, I also serve as 'subject editor' for "Building Simulation" Journal, "Commissioning Editor" for "Intelligent Buildings International" Journal and "Member of the editorial board" for "Buildings" Journal, "Innovation Energy" Journal and "Discover Cities" Journal.
I have received the funding from EU H2020 programme, Swedish energy agency/formas, JPI Urban Europe, Nordic Energy Research, STINT, J. Gust. Richert foundation, EU COST ACTION etc. A few examples are listed as below:
