Ali Amiri serves as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Department of Built Environment at Aalto University's School of Engineering, specializing in sustainable construction systems with emphasis on wood-based building technologies. His research integrates environmental science, engineering, and urban policy to quantify carbon impacts across building lifecycles.
His primary research interests focus on wood construction decarbonization, where he pioneers methodologies for measuring embodied carbon displacement factors and whole-life carbon accounting in urban contexts. Work spans technical analysis of multi-storey wood systems, circular material flows including mycelium-wood composites, and policy frameworks for scaling sustainable construction. Key contributions include establishing wood's role in urban carbon storage and identifying technical barriers to mass timber adoption.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2022-2025) reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) Quantifying wood construction's GHG reduction potential through displacement factor modeling, (2) Developing spatiotemporal carbon assessment tools for urban districts, and (3) Innovating circular material systems like bio-composites. His work consistently bridges technical engineering with urban policy, featuring collaborations across Nordic research networks.
As a core member of Aalto's Real Estate research group, Amiri contributes to projects examining sustainable urban development pathways. His current work leverages Finland's wood construction leadership to develop transferable frameworks for global urban decarbonization, with emerging focus on mycelium-based insulation materials and policy mechanisms for accelerating circular building practices.
