About me


Shayan Mirzabeigi is currently a Ph.D. Candidate in Sustainable Construction Management at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (SUNY ESF), working with Professor Mohamad Razkenari and Professor Paul Crovella. He is also pursuing a second Ph.D. in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Syracuse University, working with Professor Jianshun Zhang in the Building Energy and Environmental Systems Lab (BEESL). He received his MS degree in Building Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 2020. His master's dissertation was about solar radiation and human comfort. His first degree was a bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering from the University of Tehran, Iran, in 2016.

 

Research interests

With degrees in three majors (Architectural, and Building Engineering; Construction Management; and Mechanical Engineering) from three countries (Iran, Italy, and U.S.), Shayan’s research is highly interdisciplinary and collaborative. His current research interests cover: Building Simulaion; Energy Efficient Buildings; Integrated Building Assessment; Building Physics; Building Envelope and Materials; and Sustainable Built Environment
