Hamed Nabizadeh Rafsanjani

Hamed Nabizadeh Rafsanjani, Ph.D., P.E., ENV SP is a Lecturer at the University of Georgia (UGA) College of Engineering since 2018. He holds a Ph.D. and master’s degrees in Construction Engineering and Management from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). Prior to UGA, he served as an assistant professor and visiting lecturer at various universities, earning accolades such as the Best Teacher Award and Best Researcher Award. His research focuses on IoT, AI, and Digital Twin technologies applied to Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries. As director of iSC-LAB, he develops IoT-based platforms to analyze building occupants’ energy-use behaviors and improve learning environments.

His research interests span smart building systems, non-intrusive energy monitoring, and occupant behavior analysis. Key projects include a global occupant behavior database and an IoT-based smartphone energy assistant (iSEA). He has secured grants from agencies like the National Science Foundation (NSF), contributing to studies on energy efficiency, construction project management, and sustainability in built environments.

Rafsanjani’s publications (2018–2023) emphasize AI-driven solutions for AEC, IoT applications in energy management, and adaptive learning systems. His work bridges technology and human behavior to optimize building performance and educational outcomes. Awards reflect his dual excellence in pedagogy and research, with ongoing contributions to the Sustainable Human-Building Ecosystems field.
