Sociology / Writing studies / ESL

I’m interested in understanding how humans manage to make sense of their environments and to deal with them (especially, issues on decision making, problem solving, causal reasoning, memory). Being a philosopher by training, I try my best to keep my research and teaching informed by both social and natural sciences.

My research is broadly related to the efficient use of natural resources in architectural design and urban planning. I am particularly interested in the design of a sustainable and resilient built environment to provide users with comfort while respecting their cultural background and reducing their environmental impact. Currently, my research focuses on three areas in particular: The impact of energy prices on energy accessibility for low-income families, which is related to energy poverty; the dynamic interaction between humans and their thermal environment through the development of adaptive comfort models; the impact of climate change on building energy demand.
