Mohamed Ali
PhD Student

Mohamed Ali is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Architecture at Texas A&M University. His research explores Cognitive Load Mapping of Daylit Architectural Spaces, investigating how luminous environments shape perceptual comfort, attentional stability, and cognitive well-being. By combining climate-based daylight analysis with EEG-informed indicators, his work aims to reveal hidden luminous stress overlooked by conventional daylight metrics and advance daylight as a driver of cognitively restorative architectural design.
He serves as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Department of Architecture. Prior to his doctoral studies, Mohamed gained professional experience in architectural practice, including the renovation of the Dominion Energy Main Campus (Knolls 3 & Bump House Buildings) in Richmond, Virginia.Â
