Dr Seyed Morteza Hosseini

Brief Bio

Dr. Morteza Hosseini an assistant professor at the Department of Architecture, Design & Media Technology in the Aalborg University. He is a leading researcher in the field of responsive, interactive, and kinetic façade design that focused his education and practical building design on kinetic facade design concerning users' visual comfort and daylight performance. He holds a Ph.D. in Smart Architectural Technology from the department of the Built Environment of the Eindhoven University of Technology. Morteza has an outstanding ability to develop interdisciplinary research in the field of architecture and daylighting through parametric thinking. Besides, He has an impressive portfolio of the architectural design of indoor and outdoor spaces, many projects with dynamic/kinetic façade structures. Hosseini also possesses great computational skills, being an experienced user of the most common software for daylight simulation, visualization, and rendering. He has contributed as the main author to a considerable number of refereed articles in highly ranked scientific journals. He is a reviewer for several Elsevier, Springer, and Taylor & Francis journals.
