Dr. Adrian Chong is an Associate Professor in the Department of the Built Environment at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and a Fellow of the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA). His research interest is rooted in addressing the multi-faceted challenges of optimizing building energy efficiency and performance.At the core of this endeavor are his interest in mixed-mode ventilation in the Tropics, model calibration, uncertainty quantification, and occupant-centric building controls. At NUS, he leads the Integrated Data, Energy Analysis + Simulation (IDEAS) lab, a multidisciplinary group researching the interaction between building performance simulation, measured data, and machine learning. Adrian also serves as a subject editor for Building Simulation, an editorial board member for Energy and Buildings, and an Early Career Board Member for Building and Environment.
