Dusan Licina

Dusan Licina is an Associate Professor at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and director of the Human-Oriented Built Environment Laboratory (HOBEL) within the Smart Living Lab initiative. His research bridges building science, environmental engineering, and human health.

• Education: BSc/MSc in Mechanical Engineering (University of Belgrade), joint PhD (National University of Singapore & Technical University of Denmark), postdoc (University of California Berkeley)
• Key research areas: Indoor air quality, human exposure science, building ventilation, IoT sensing, energy-efficient housing

His 15 most cited works focus on particle dynamics, ozone chemistry, and occupant-driven building systems. Notable trends include human-clothing interactions in pollution transport, nanocluster aerosol formation, and real-time CO2 monitoring behavior.

Awarded

• Yaglou award (ISIAQ) for sustainable healthy buildings research
• Ralph G. Nevin’s award (ASHRAE) for human exposure studies

and serving on the Indoor Air editorial board.

Current PhD students Dong Hui, Liu Tianqi, Loizou Maria, Medina Taylor Oran explore:

• Occupant behavior in energy systems
• Smart sensor networks
• Radon measurement technologies
• Work-from-home environmental quality

His laboratory develops Human-Centric Sensing Platforms and Occupant-Centric Building Design methodologies through experimental chambers and computational models.
