معرفی
Dr. Kishor Zingre is an Assistant Professor at Northumbria University's Architecture and Built Environment Department. His research focuses on decarbonization of the built environment through bio-inspired designs, cool materials, and advanced thermal modeling. Key areas include urban heat island mitigation, net-zero energy buildings, and GEDI (Gender, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusivity). He has contributed to Singapore's cooling policies, California's Title 24 standards, and India’s GRIHA building codes. His work bridges experimental methods (thermography, laser scanning) with computational simulations.
Dr. Zingre has secured £236k funding for the North of Tyne Combined Authority's Green Growth Skills Programme, enhancing regional sustainability and job creation. He collaborates with organizations like the National Trust on heritage building sustainability and advises Northumbria's Carbon Managers on building defects and energy-saving measures. His research outputs include 49 peer-reviewed articles, with 10 first-authored high-impact papers in journals like Energy (IF 9.0) and Renewable Energy.
- Education & Scholarships: Awarded Government of India (2008), Maharashtra (2011), and Singapore (2010) scholarships. Achieved Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) in 2020.
- Impact: Influenced UK REF2021 submissions, energy assessments for Newcastle schools, and skills development programs. His work with the National Trust addresses sustainability in historic villages like Coleshill and Cambo.
- Leadership: Principal Investigator for a British Council-funded project on GEDI in HEIs. Co-Investigator on AI integration in built environment education and green growth skills initiatives.
His research emphasizes real-world applications, such as cool roof coatings for Singapore’s HDB estates and thermal modeling for urban street canyons. He actively participates in conferences, serves on editorial boards (e.g., Journal of Modern Mechanical Engineering and Technology), and mentors PhD candidates.
