Education:
- PhD in Built Environment – NUS Singapore (with NUS Research Scholarship)
- M.Tech. (Civil Engineering) in Building Technology and Construction Management – IIT Madras
- B.Arch. – NIT Patna
Professional Member: - ASHRAE, ISIAQ, ACM
Research Interest:
- My research interests primarily revolve around building science, building technology and construction management. Currently, I am focused on investigating the impact of outdoor/indoor pollutants and viral loads on building system control, system-level and building-level energy efficiency, as well as on the health and well-being of occupants at the zone level. Additionally, I am interested in exploring topics such as energy and buildings, indoor air quality and thermal comfort, building-to-urban data science, and the integration of Building Information Modeling (BIM) with Building Energy Modeling (BEM) to develop digital twin solutions.
