معرفی
Tristan Kershaw is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Bath's Department of Architecture & Civil Engineering. His research focuses on climate resilience, building physics, and urban microclimate adaptation. He holds an MPhys (2004) and PhD in low-temperature solid-state physics (2008) from the University of Exeter. His work explores how urban design and green/blue infrastructure can mitigate climate change impacts on buildings and communities. He has led projects funded by EPSRC, the Royal Academy of Engineering, and the EU, addressing topics like heatwave mitigation, sustainable land management, and climate adaptation in underserved regions.
Key contributions include the CIBSE Napier Shaw Medal (2012) for developing probabilistic future weather models. His research emphasizes long-term building sustainability, thermal comfort, and nature-based solutions for urban resilience. He collaborates internationally and actively supervises doctoral students in climate change resilience, urban heat islands, and zero-carbon design.
