Research

My research interest is on built environment ...

... for improving environmental quality

Research findings, more or less, are feedbacked to my students finally, in some ways, and in some forms of teaching ...

Thanks to all my students, who helped me a lot in the research development.

• Some of their research project works

• Some photos with them

I find some interesting results and I present them with following groupings for easy reference ...

• • Building Energy

• Environmental Quality

• Indoor Air

• Water Systems

  • Safety

• Earlier studies

Publishing research result is one of the means of sharing research findings. I have authored/co-authored over 200 papers in refereed journals and conferences ...

• My publication list

• A list of academic refereed journals that I have contribution(s)

• A list of selected presentation(s)

I am happy to have some externally research funding supports ...
