Academic biography

Reihaneh Aghamolaei joined Dublin City University (DCU) in 2021. Prior to this appointment, she served as a lecturer at University College Dublin (UCD) and Griffith College Dublin, specialising in building energy performance, renewable energy systems, and energy optimisation. She also worked as a sustainability engineer in Ireland's Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry, focusing on designing sustainable buildings and assessing the energy performance and carbon emissions of residential and commercial buildings.

Reihaneh holds a degree in Building Engineering (2013) and a master's in Sustainable Planning (2015), both awarded with first-class honours. She pursued advanced research on whole-building energy simulation at UCD’s Energy Institute and completed her PhD at the University of Tehran (UT), focusing on the thermal impacts of built environments on urban-scale microclimates.

Her research interests include building energy performance, techno-economic energy optimisation, and renewable energy integration, with an emphasis on employing novel and holistic modelling techniques.
