I am an architect and expert in building energy modelling both in the UK and Cyprus. My expertise focuses on understanding the theory between architecture and energy policy design in conjunction with exploring the impact of passive cooling systems on domestic energy use and households’ thermal comfort. I had an intensive 10 years of experience in teaching, research, and architectural practice. I was initially involved in the BSc (Hons) in Construction Management programme at the University of East London (UEL) between September 2016–2018. I developed teaching skills to demonstrate significant intellectual input to the students’ technical drawings and monitor their learning adaptability and integration to the ‘Construction Technology and Materials module. I am an author of over 45 journals, book chapters and conference papers relevant to the building engineering field and assisted with research projects in the Sustainable Development of the Built Environment (SDBE) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Europe and the UK. I am a Lecturer in Architecture: Technology in the School of Built Environment and Architecture, at London South Bank University (LSBU). I am an author of the books ‘Transgressive Design Strategies for Utopian Cities: Theories, Methodologies and Cases in Architecture and Urbanism’ and ‘Energy Policy Design in the Eastern Mediterranean Basin: A Roadmap to Energy Efficiency’ which have been published in Routledge- Research in Architecture & Explorations in Energy Studies series by Taylor & Francis. Currently, I continue my research on the development of neutral adaptive thermal comfort benchmarking to contribute to the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) Global Thermal Comfort Database II with a team of international experts in thermal comfort studies.
