Esber Andiroglu serves as a Professor of Practice in the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering within the University of Miami's College of Engineering. His research focuses on coastal infrastructure resilience, water resource management, and building systems optimization with direct applications to South Florida's environmental challenges.
His research program spans three interconnected domains:
- Coastal Engineering: Investigating construction-induced subsidence using InSAR technology, multifunctional seawall design integrating ecological performance, and climate adaptation metrics for coastal structures
- Water Systems: Advancing water reuse frameworks, on-site wastewater treatment resilience against sea-level rise, and effluent standard development for water-scarce regions
- Building Energy: Pioneering virtual flow metering techniques for pumps and air-handling units, demand flexibility control, and energy feedback systems for HVAC optimization
His publication record demonstrates consistent interdisciplinary output with recent high-impact work including the 2024 Earth and Space Science submission on Miami's barrier island subsidence and the 2022 Ecological Engineering review of concrete seawalls that has garnered significant attention across academic and policy spheres.
Professional activities reflect strong industry engagement through development of practical measurement technologies like virtual flow meters for pump systems and AHU control strategies with demonstrable energy savings. His work bridges theoretical modeling and field validation, particularly evident in the experimental energy feedback control research that achieved demand response within 3 minutes versus conventional 25-minute systems.
