About this position
A funded PhD project is available at Griffith University, School of Engineering and Built Environment, on A Comprehensive Framework to Enhance Existing Housing Design and Sustainability. The project is based in Gold Coast, Australia and is supervised by Dr Peyman Akhgar.
The research sits at the intersection of architecture, built environment, environmental engineering, structural engineering, and energy technologies. It aims to develop a practical, cost-effective framework to improve the energy performance and livability of existing housing stock, with a particular focus on South East Queensland (SEQ). The project explores retrofit strategies, modern technologies, sustainable materials, spatial and socio-economic impacts, and design guidelines for residential properties.
Expected outputs include energy consumption calculations, policy recommendations, comprehensive reports, and design guidance that can support more pleasant indoor and outdoor spaces while reducing energy use and contributing to Australia’s net zero by 2050 ambitions.
This is a competition funded PhD project open to students worldwide. To be competitive for the scholarship, applicants should have a master’s degree, a high GPA, and at least two peer-reviewed publications.
Interested candidates should register their interest through the FindAPhD listing and wait for the university to respond directly.
