I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Technology in Architecture in ETH Zurich. I research how human comfort in architecture can be characterised in building physics.
I am a scientist and engineer trained at University College London (UCL), where my path evolved from architectural design to the physics of the built environment. My expertise is built on a PhD in Building Physics (2018) and an MSc in Light and Lighting (2012), yet fundamentally grounded in the architectural mindset developed during my BSc (2011).
My research lies at the interface of technology and human perception, with a dedicated emphasis on how daylight shapes the occupant experience. Focused on fundamental questions of visual comfort and health, I explore the dynamic interplay between space, light, and time with an aim to bridge architectural design with building physics.
I approach these challenges with a reverse-engineering mindset, using engineering as the language to translate complex human needs into quantifiable, responsive systems. My technical focus enhances architectural design intuition with physics and technologies—leveraging sensor technologies, machine learning, and predictive modeling to create responsive environments.

Adaptive façade systems using machine learning for real-time climate responsiveness and energy optimization.
High dynamic range imaging for visual comfort analysis in complex lighting.
Developing new metrics for glare perception in daylit office environments.
Simulating daylight spectral properties for precise circadian health assessments in architecture.
I am always interested in hearing and talking more about daylight and architecture studies. Whether you have a question or just want to say hi, my inbox is always open.
