Research and expertise
I am a UK-registered architect with 6 years of experience in the construction industry. I am passionate about building energy performance and mitigating overheating risks in buildings.

As a part of my master’s degree, I conducted research into the impact of the Urban Heat Island on potential cooling energy demand in a flat in Warsaw, Poland. My current research focuses on the impact of energy efficiency retrofit measures on the overheating risk in UK dwellings using dynamic thermal modelling.
