Dr Arianna Brambilla is a building engineer and an architect. She holds a PhD in Building Physics and Systems from Politecnico di Milano (IT), done in conjunction with the Aalborg University (DK). Her project was focused on building strategies to enhance resilience to climate change and user interaction with the building automation system applied to very efficient model homes. Before joining the University of Sydney, she was doing a post-doc at the École Polytechnique fédérale del Lausanne (EPFL, CH), where she was engaged in a project aimed at developing a low-carbon outstanding building. Her research interests relate to the perceived and subjective thermal comfort in relation to the objective environmental comfort, hygrothermal performance of building components and materials, low-carbon design strategies and thermal energy storage.
