About Me
As a building physicist, I pioneer bio-intelligent building systems and bio-building physics. These interdisciplinary approaches harness living materials, Artificial Intelligence (AI), biotechnology, and vernacular design to engineer passive, self-regulating structures for extreme environments—ranging from arid deserts and polar outposts to transplanetary habitats. I advance the frontiers of sustainable, net-zero technologies through extensive expertise in Engineered Living Materials (ELM)—specifically Mycelium-Based Composites (MBC) and Bacterial Cellulose (BC)—combined with AI-driven bio-digital fabrication and rigorous building performance simulation.
Current Research
BioCOOL: Passive Cooling
Developing climate-resilient architecture through mycelium-based cooling screens. This work explores how bio-fabricated materials can replace traditional high-carbon cooling systems.
MYCORAL
Exploring the potential of mycelium-based composites in coral restoration.
Bio-Fabrication for Space
Exploring the potential of mycelium for terrestrial and extra-terrestrial habitats.
MycoSAT
Exploring the potential of mycelium-based composites for making satellites.
