Fitsum Tariku joined SEE in May as a Professor.

He specializes in experimental and computational building engineering physics, focusing on sustainable building materials, high-performance building envelope systems, whole-building performance optimization and the integration of innovative building technologies. Given the significant contribution of buildings to greenhouse gas emissions, his research focuses on advancing sustainable, high-performance design alongside operational practices that address both the environmental footprint of buildings and the health risks of overheating.

"I look forward to establishing a world-class building engineering physics research hub at SEE in collaboration with other 大象传媒 faculties. I also aim to advance research on the design and operation of sustainable, energy-efficient and smart buildings in the context of a changing climate, while training the next generation of building and energy engineers."
