Mitigation and Adaptation of Urban Overheating

Dr. Nasrin Aghamohammadi is an Associate Professor at Curtin University, Australia and environmental engineering in the Departmentof Social and Preventive Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Her core expertise is in sustainability, net zero precincts, climate change adaptation, urban heat island phenomenon, and health impact. Since 1995, she has targeted contamination measurement and possible control. She has an extensive background in pure and applied research as well as chemical engineering. She has acquired, applied, and taken pride in a very wide range of experiences and activities from hands-on projects such as projects involving air, water, wastewater, solid waste, and related health issues. She led as the principal investigator for various local and international research focusing on urban health and climate change addressing sustainable development goals and sustainable future cities. Her main research is on net zero precincts and urban footprint mitigations. Professor Matthaios Santamouris is a Scientia, Distinguished, Professor of High Performance Architecture at University of New South Wales.
