Timur Dogan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Architecture and the director of the M.Arch. Program and the Environmental Systems Lab. Dogan holds a PhD from MIT, an MDES from Harvard GSD, and a Dipl. Ing. in Architecture with distinction from the TU Darmstadt, Germany.
Dogan's research aims to accelerate building decarbonization in the North American and European context through educational programming and strategic research at the intersection of design, computer science, building performance simulation, and urban geospatial analysis. His research expertise is in daylighting, energy modeling, passive climate control strategies, and performance-driven design workflows at urban and architectural scales. The Environmental Systems Lab's research outcomes include widely used software tools, such as urbano.io, eddy3d.com, patented algorithms, and building component prototypes.
