Giliam Doctor

Giliam Doctor is a researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, affiliated with the Department of Industrial and Materials Science within the College of Engineering. Their work focuses on sustainable design, digital twin technology, and urban energy systems, with particular emphasis on circular economy principles and stakeholder collaboration in decarbonization processes.

Doctor's research interests span several interconnected domains:

• Circular design practices and methodologies
• Digital twin applications for urban planning and energy management
• Sustainable product development and lifecycle analysis
• User-centered approaches to energy consumption behavior
• Stakeholder collaboration in urban decarbonization processes

Recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on applying digital twin technology to urban energy challenges and investigating circular design practices across industries. Doctor's work bridges technical modeling with human-centered design approaches, particularly evident in their doctoral thesis on circular design through co-creation. Their research often involves cross-institutional collaboration, working with partners from TU Delft, industry organizations, and municipal stakeholders.

Doctor is actively involved in multiple research projects funded by VINNOVA and industry partners including Göteborg Energi AB. Current projects include 'Nexus for circular design,' 'SUSTAIN - Sustainable life cycle Thinking in the Aerospace Industry,' and 'Cirkulär- och data-driven samutvecklingsramverk,' reflecting their commitment to practical applications of sustainable design principles across multiple sectors.
