Dr Doris Abigail Chi Pool

Brief Bio

Dr. Doris Chi Pool is an associate professor in the Department of Architecture, University of Americas Puebla, Mexico. She is architect and specialist in Visual Environment and Energy Efficiency. She completed her Master in Lighting in the National University of Tucuman and, her Ph.D. on daylighting and thermal analysis in the University of Seville. Furthermore, she has conducted research stays at different institutions, such as INCIHUSA, Argentina and School of Building & Civil Engineering, Loughborough University, UK. Currently, she is member of the National System of Researchers Mexico. Her interest of research are about Climate-based Daylight Modelling, Building Conditioning, Energy Efficiency and Performance Simulations. Particularly, her studies are now focused on design optimization of buildings through statistical analysis and parametric design to improve daylighting and energy efficiency. She has published different papers in reputed international journals and conferences and has also reviewed research papers for different high ranked international journals. She is member of the International Building Performance Simulation Association IBPSA-Mexico. She has also worked as a lighting designer in private companies in the field of architectural, heritage, urban and landscape lighting design projects.
