I am a Postdoctoral Scholar (Engineering) at Berkeley Education Alliance for Research in Singapore.

I am an Engineer by training. The focus of my work, as a postdoctoral scholar, has mostly been on thermal comfort, Indoor Environmental Quality (IEQ), Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems and development of non-intrusive methodologies to monitor IEQ parameters.

I am the main author of the Python package pythermalcomfort and one of the main developers of the CBE thermal comfort tool and of the Cozie.app

I received my PhD in 2017 from University of Wollongong during which I focused on determining the impact of IEQ on perceptions of occupants (staff and residents) and agitated behaviors of residents at aged care facilities. I am actively collaborating with the ASHRAE 55 Standard Committee and I collaborated with the International Energy Agency EBC Annex 69 "Strategy and Practice of Adaptive Thermal Comfort in Low Energy Buildings".

I am interested on increasing the quality of Wikipedia articles related to energy, architecture, sustainability and indoor environmental quality (lighting, acoustics, thermal comfort, indoor air quality).
