Dr. Homeira Shayesteh Presents at Sustainable and Innovative Places Conference in London, October 2024

Dr. Homeira Shayesteh, Senior Lecturer in Architecture and Building Information Modeling (BIM) at Middlesex University, recently delivered a compelling talk at the Sustainable and Innovative Places Conference, held in London on October 10, 2024. Her presentation, titled “Application of Digital Twin Technology for a Sustainable and Innovative Campus: Promoting Collaboration Between Industry and Academia in Achieving UNSDGs”, captivated attendees from both industry and academia.

The talk was a showcase of innovative solutions developed in collaboration with IESVE, aimed at transforming the energy performance and sustainability of one of the Middlesex University campus buildings—the Ritterman Building. This project embodies a strategic approach to retrofitting, combining cutting-edge digital twin technology with real-time data analysis to enhance the building’s energy efficiency while reducing carbon emissions. It aligns seamlessly with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) and highlights the growing importance of collaboration between academic institutions and industry in achieving global sustainability objectives. More information on the project here.

Poster Presentation at the Intelligent Transportation Systems: Career Path to NetZero Workshop

We are thrilled to share that Alessandro Bigiotti, our visiting researcher from University of Camerino, represented Middlesex University at the highly successful “Intelligent Transportation Systems: Career Path to NetZero” technical workshop, organized by Prof. Mona Jaber and hosted at Queen Mary University of London. The event was  funded by the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society (ITSS) and supported by IEEE Women in Engineering UK and Ireland.

Alessandro presented his poster among a distinguished group of early career researchers and students from top universities like the University of Warwick, University of Glasgow, and Queen Mary University of London. His work, focused on Blockchain Enables Traceability and Safety of Road Freight Transport, was showcased alongside cutting-edge research aimed at addressing the challenges and innovations in Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). The poster session had 11 high-quality presentations in total, and Alessandro’s contribution added to the depth and diversity of the technical topics presented.
