Krystyna Pietrzyk

Dr. Krystyna Pietrzyk is a Senior Researcher at Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, affiliated with the School of Architecture and Civil Engineering. Her research focuses on modeling building and urban performance under environmental uncertainties, integrating risk and reliability analysis into design processes.

• Education: Doctoral/PhD in Building Physics (Chalmers University of Technology, 2000)
• Research Projects:Leads studies on wind modeling for sustainable urban design, moisture/mould safety in buildings, and systemic approaches to retrofitting under the RAP-RETRO and Formas programs.

Research Interests include:

• Probabilistic methods in building physics
• Climate-adaptive architecture
• Uncertainty quantification in urban planning
• Sustainable building envelopes

Advisory Roles: Director of Studies for the Graduate School of Architecture at Chalmers, mentoring Master's and PhD students in architectural research and risk management.

Collaborations:Partners with institutions in Tanzania, Kenya, and international organizations like IEA-EXCO and CIB. Funded by Formas and Mistra Urban Futures.
