Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States

Overall, involved in several research projects in the general domain of building energy simulation, sustainable buildings, co-simulation, inter-process communication, and life cycle analysis. Specifically,1. Created a systems simulation framework that simultaneously analyze the energy nexus between the different factors influencing the energy consumption in a building. 2. Developed a coupled simulation framework that aids in taking the right decisions for retrofitting a building to the net zero level.3. Developed a Lightweight Adaptive Building Simulation (LABS) Framework for cosimulating and analyzing various factors that affect the energy consumption the buildings ( An innovative approach to the building energy cosimulation analysis). 4. Introduced a systems thinking to the life cycle energy analysis in the buildings and analyzed the effects of varying building performance on the life cycle energy use (This study received editor's special mention in the ASCE journal of computing in civil engineering).5. Developed a life cycle analysis framework for optimizing the material selection parameters in the water distribution infrastructure projects (In collaboration with a water utility industry in the US).
