Research supervision
My expertise is in heat transfer, HVAC and solar energy. I am currently researching heat transfer in vacuum insulating glazing. My undergraduate degree was in engineering physics, and my PhD was in mechanical engineering. I have won ten teaching awards.
- Research on windows and energy-efficient building technologies
- Teach thermodynamics, heat transfer, HVAC and building science
- Associate supervisor for an HDR student
