Dr. Brijesh Pandey has recently joined AEEE as a senior research associate, where his main focus of work would be energy efficiency in buildings. He has pursued his master’s and Ph.D. from IIT Bombay. Before joining AEEE, he was a post-doctoral fellow in the same institution where his work focused on applying ceiling fans to mitigate airborne pathogens. His work/research interests include model-based predictive control, AI for buildings, thermal storage in buildings, building energy simulation, thermal comfort, and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). He was also awarded the prestigious BHAVAN fellowship supported by the Dept. of Science and Technology, Gov. of India, and Indo-US Science & Technology Forum (IUSSTF) to carry out his internship at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL). Dr. Pandey is keenly interested in interdisciplinary pedagogy and research and believes in removing the silos of the subject barrier for holistic knowledge. He loves to spend his leisure time reading ancient history.
