Biography
Nadia was graduated with PhD in architecture from University of Cambridge, UK. Her PhD study mainly focused on fire hazard of glass buildings and double-skin facades. Before her PhD study, Nadia obtained her bachelor degree and master degree from Department of Building Services Engineering of Hong Kong Polytechnic University. Nadia published 49 refereed journal and conference articles.
Research Interests/Areas
Nadia is particularly interested in the application of Computational Fluid Dynamics in simulating fires, natural ventilation, facade fires, smoke toxicity and fire safety in green and sustainable buildings.
