I earned my PhD in Mechanical Engineering from Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), Canada, where my research focused on nano-engineered thermal energy storage systems integrated with ground-source heat pumps. I subsequently continued at TMU as a Research Associate, investigating advanced thermal and low-carbon building energy systems.

I later joined the University of Toronto, first as a Mitacs Accelerate Postdoctoral Fellow (2022–2024) and then as an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow (2024–2026), focusing on indoor air quality, ventilation, building energy performance, and smart-building technologies. I am currently a Horizon Europe Postdoctoral Researcher at EPFL, Switzerland, where my work integrates indoor environmental quality, CFD, building energy systems, sensing, and data-driven approaches to develop healthier, low-carbon, and intelligent buildings.
