2017​

​

Saba Khashe successfully defended her dissertation titled “Enabling Human-Building Communication to Promote Pro-environmental Behavior in Office Buildings.” Congratulations Dr. Khashe!  

Saba Khashe of iLAB receives the 2017 Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award of the Astani Department.

Pedram Oskouie successfully defended his thesis titled "A Systematic Approach to In-situ Quality Assessment of Scan Data for As-Built Models Using Building-specific Geometric Features". We congratulate Dr. Oskouie and wish him the best in his future career. 

In collaboration with ARUP, iLAB will develop novel service system algorithms to enable Arup's smart desk to learn, and respond to occupants' needs, desires, preferences. By observing its users, and collaborating with them in heterogeneous teamwork environments, the service system will improve human comfort, and productivity and lead to energy optimization. 

Check out the podcast -- based on our work -- that takes places in a futuristic city where buildings are not inanimate but sentient beings, uniquely programmed to suit the physical needs of their residents: CLICK HERE

Dr. Ali Ghahramani joins the Center for the Built Environment at the University of California, Berkeley as a postdoctoral researcher. Congratulations Ali!
