Hassan Saeed Khan

Dr. Hassan Saeed Khan is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at Central Queensland University and an Adjunct Lecturer at the University of New South Wales. He holds a Ph.D. in Built Environment from UNSW (2018-2022), a Master of Science in Architectural Engineering from Politecnico di Milano (2010-2012), and a Bachelor of Science in Building and Architectural Engineering from UET Lahore (2003-2008). His research focuses on zero-energy buildings, radiative cooling materials, and urban heat mitigation.

• Ph.D. in Built Environment, UNSW Australia (2018-2022)
• MSc in Architectural Engineering, Politecnico di Milano (2010-2012)
• BSc in Building and Architectural Engineering, UET Lahore (2003-2008)

Dr. Khan specializes in urban climatology, energy-efficient building systems, and climate-responsive urban design. His work includes fluorescent radiative coolers for urban surfaces, seasonal performance modulation of cooling materials, and microclimate evaluation in coastal regions. His research spans thermal performance of buildings, extreme heat event analysis, and renewable energy integration.

His recent publications highlight scalable radiative cooling solutions, synoptic weather interactions with urban heat, and green infrastructure benefits in subtropical environments. Key projects include ARC Discovery grants on fluorescent materials and consultancy with BlueScope and Dulux for material performance optimization.
