Jan Carmeliet

Since June 2008, Jan Carmeliet is full professor at the Chair of Building Physics at ETH Zürich, Switzerland.
 

Jan Carmeliet, graduated from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (K.U.Leuven) in Engineering Architecture and got his PhD in Civil Engineering at K.U.Leuven in 1992. He has been Assistant (1998), Associate (2001) and Full professor (2004) at K.U.Leuven and part-time Professor at T.U.Eindhoven (2001-2008). He was in 2007 on sabbatical leave at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign and at Los Alamos Governmental Laboratories.

His research resulted until now in more than 315 scientific journal papers (h-index 72 google scholar 2020)

His research interests concern urban climate and climate change, multiscale behaviour of porous and granular materials, heat-air-moisture flow in the urban environment, energy systems at building and urban scale. Research is based on advanced computational modelling (atomistic, discrete element, lattice Boltzmann, CFD, FEM) and advanced experimental techniques (X-ray and Neutron Tomography,…) and time-resolved imaging in wind and water tunnels (PIV, …).

He was member of Board of Energy Science Centre ETHZ (2010-2017), member of Research commission CCEM: Centre of Excellence Energy and Mobility (2012-2016), member of Research Commission ETHZ (2012-2016), CTI-expert commission engineering (2013-2017), InnoSuisse (2018 - 2020), teaching Director for Master in Integrated building systems (2014-2018), Research councillor of the National Science Foundation Switzerland, division IV (2017-2020). He was head of the Laboratory of Multi-scale Studies in Building Physics, Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology from 2008 to 2017.
