Profile

I am a Doctoral Researcher in Energy Resilience and the Built Environment (ERBE), at the School of Architecture, Building, and Civil Engineering, Loughborough University.

Before pursuing my doctoral studies, I worked as an architect, gaining practical experience in designing sustainable and efficient buildings. My research focuses on thermal and visual comfort, sustainable architecture, and building simulation, with a particular interest in mitigating summertime overheating using passive cooling technologies in UK homes.
