Dr. Amirhossein Balali serves as Assistant Professor (UK Lecturer) in Civil Engineering at the University of Hertfordshire within the School of Physics, Engineering & Computer Science and Department of Engineering and Technology. He concurrently holds positions as Visiting Lecturer at the University of Manchester and External PhD Mentor at University College London, focusing on sustainable construction and energy management through interdisciplinary research and education.
His academic foundation includes a PhD in Civil Engineering from the University of Manchester (2025), MSc in Construction Engineering and Management from Islamic Azad University (2020), and BSc in Civil Engineering from Persian Gulf University (2017). These qualifications underpin his expertise in sustainable engineering systems and decision-making methodologies.
Dr. Balali's research centers on sustainable built environments, integrating AI-driven energy management, passive building optimization, and multi-criteria decision analysis. His work addresses critical gaps in construction sustainability through policy-responsive frameworks and practical tools that reduce carbon footprints while enhancing operational efficiency in building systems.
Analysis of his 23 research outputs (2020-2025) reveals a concentrated focus on passive energy strategies for buildings, utilizing fuzzy logic and knowledge-based systems to overcome adoption barriers. His publications demonstrate a clear trajectory toward developing implementable decision support tools that bridge theoretical research with industry application in sustainable construction.
His scientific recognition includes:
- Dean’s Doctoral Scholar Award from the University of Manchester
- Royal Academy of Engineering Emerging Leader endorsement under UK Global Talent
- Senior Fellowship of Advance HE
As an active PhD supervisor at UH and UCL, Dr. Balali integrates research with mentorship while contributing to major initiatives like the EPSRC-funded BuildZero project—a multi-million-pound effort targeting zero material extraction, zero carbon, and zero waste in UK buildings—demonstrating significant grant acquisition and industry partnership capabilities.
He operates within the Energy and Sustainable Design Research Group at UH's Centre for Engineering Research, collaborating with international institutions including UCL and Manchester to advance sustainable engineering solutions through cross-disciplinary team structures and knowledge exchange platforms.
