- Research Scope: Urban climate, CFD modeling, heat island mitigation
Research interests include computational fluid dynamics (CFD) applications for urban environments, with emphasis on heat island effects, wind-driven rain analysis, and porous media heat transfer. His work combines numerical simulations and experimental validations to assess thermal comfort and climate adaptation strategies in cities.
Recent publications analyze vegetation impacts on urban microclimates, including tree cooling potential, street-level thermal comfort dynamics, and high-rise building wind mitigation. Studies employ custom solvers like urbanMicroclimateFoam and OpenFOAM for integrated flow-heat-moisture modeling.
Key collaborations include researchers from ETH Zurich (Jan Carmeliet, Dominique Derome) and international institutions, focusing on sustainable urban planning and climate resilience frameworks.
