Areas of Research
DWELL Lab (Daylight, Wellbeing, and the Living Environment Lab) The DWELL Lab studies how architecture and built environment shape human health and wellbeing. We combine building science, indoor environmental quality measurement, and human-centred research methods to work towards creating living environments that are not only energy-efficient but also comfortable, health-focused, and adaptable. At the University of Calgary, my research program focuses on three core areas: uncovering empirical links between indoor environmental parameters and human health outcomes; advancing the design of building envelopes to optimize daylight and occupant comfort; and translating behavioural findings into evidence-based design strategies for healthier, equitable, and sustainable built environments. Some of the current research focuses include, aging-in-place, affordable housing, building performance simulation, environmental determinants of health, and multisensory and immersive environments.
Supervising degrees
Working with this supervisor
I welcome students from architecture, engineering, environmental design, health sciences, psychology, and related fields. Students in my lab learn to combine field measurement, simulation, and qualitative methods. I value curiosity, rigour, and respect for the communities we work with. Prior experience with environmental sensors, simulation tools, or interviews and surveys is an asset. To inquire, please use the contact form below:
