Hamed Babazadeh Ph.D. Candidate - Jan 2019 -
trained in mechanical engineering, and worked as a designer and consultant, Hamed’s interest lies in developing mathematical platforms using dynamical systems to explain interactions between an individual and environment. He is currently revisiting the measures describing the condition of mind which expresses satisfaction with the thermal environment, known as “thermal comfort” in the building industry. He is examining the possibility of crafting a more flexible notion of thermal comfort to improve the well-being of occupants, reduce the energy use of buildings, and ultimately elevate the notion of comfort to pleasure.
