About

I am a Chancellor’s Research Fellow at the School of Architecture, University of Technology Sydney, Australia. As an architect, I investigate bio-integrated and bioclimatic passive building design for climate change adaptation and mitigation. I have extensive experience in biomimetic design, bio-based material development, and building physics modelling and simulation. I am also interested in the decarbonisation of energy systems, especially within the built environment in developing countries. In my current research project, BioCOOL (Data-driven Bio-fabricated Carbon-Negative Building Skin for Passive Cooling), I am developing a weather-resistant building skin made from agricultural waste and mycelium composites. The goal is to create a biomimetic, carbon-negative solution that can passively cool buildings through evaporation. This project involves interdisciplinary research and innovation in building skin design, bio-based material development, and large-scale prototyping for climate resilience. BioCOOL is co-sponsored by the School of Architecture, Faculty of Design, Architecture, and Building (DAB), and the School of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, Faculty of Sciences at UTS. This project should benefit climate change resilience and the goals of achieving net zero by reducing active energy demand and embodied carbon in the building sector and fulfilling SDGs 7, 11, 12, and 13.

Metrics description
h-index
A scientist has an h-index if h of his N publications are cited at least h times each, while the remaining (N - h) publications are cited no more than h times each.
i10-index
The number of the author's publications that received at least 10 links each.
m-index
The researcher's m-index is numerically equal to the ratio of his h-index to the number of years that have passed since the first publication.
o-index
The geometric mean of the h-index and the number of citations of the most cited article of the scientist.
g-index
For a given set of articles, sorted in descending order of the number of citations that these articles received, the g-index is the largest number such that the g most cited articles received (in total) at least g2 citations.
w-index
If w articles of a researcher have at least 10w citations each and other publications are less than 10(w+1) citations, then the researcher's w-index is equal to w.
