Mehdi Ashayeri, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the School of Architecture at SIU-C. He holds a Ph.D. in Architecture with a specialization in Technologies of the Built Environment from the Illinois Institute of Technology (Illinois Tech), along with an M.Sc. in Architectural Engineering and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering.
Ashayeri's research lies at the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), building science, and sustainability, focusing on multi-scale modeling and performance evaluation of the built environment to inform evidence-based design. His work examines the complex interactions among human health, behavior, mobility, feedback systems, climate, and social dynamics to develop integrated approaches for improving outcomes through the lenses of building performance, urban resilience, and community well-being.
Ashayeri’s scholarship advances computational methods and modeling frameworks that integrate physics-based engineering, environmental and social sensing, and data-driven approaches to study building energy systems, indoor environmental quality (IEQ), and ambient air pollution exposure within broader socioeconomic, environmental, and public health contexts. He also develops data dashboards, digital platforms, and decision-support tools, including digital twins, to translate research into actionable solutions that support sustainable development, equitable communities, enhanced environmental quality, and long-term societal outcomes.
