Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

Able to supervise PhD projects in the areas of net zero energy and the built/urban environment.

Recent PhD projects supervised have included:
- Phase change materials integrated into the building fabric and systems
- Detailed thermal modelling of building occupants and intergration into building simulation and CFD
- Developing a probabalistic model for building occupancy and occupancy related energy demands
- Control of heterogeneous energy systems in buildings
- Modelling and assessment of trigeneration systems in buildings

If you made any changes in Pure these will be visible here soon.
