Hamid Montazeri

Dr. Hamid Montazeri is an Assistant Professor in the Department of the Built Environment at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Netherlands. He joined TU/e in 2020 and completed his PhD in Building Physics and Wind Engineering at the same institution in 2015. Prior to his current role, he held postdoctoral fellowships from the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO) in 2015 and 2018, focusing on convective heat transfer in turbulent boundary layers and building-integrated photovoltaics at KU Leuven (Belgium).

Dr. Montazeri's research expertise includes aerodynamics and fluid dynamics applied to buildings, urban wind energy systems, and renewable energy solutions. He develops advanced multi-scale multi-physics models using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and machine learning to enhance building energy efficiency and sustainable urban design. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to affordable and clean energy (SDG7) and sustainable cities (SDG11).

He has received several accolades, including the Best PhD/Postdoc Award (2015) and Best PhD Supervision Team Award (2016) from TU/e's Department of the Built Environment. His 2017 paper was ranked among the top-cited in Building & Environment for 2012-2017. He serves on the editorial boards of Energy, Renewable Energy, and Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, among others.

His educational background includes a MSc in Mechanical Engineering (2006) and PhD in Building Physics and Wind Engineering (2015), both from TU/e. He has supervised 16 research projects and actively collaborates on urban microclimate studies, wind energy harvesting, and building-integrated photovoltaic systems.
