Mehdi Ashayeri, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the School of Architecture at Southern Illinois University, where he leads the Urban Intelligence and Integrity Lab (URBiiLAB). Ashayeri earned his Ph.D. in Architecture–Technologies of the Built Environment, from the Illinois Institute of Technology. He also holds an M.Sc. in Architecture and a B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from Tehran Azad University. Dr. Ashayeri's research centers on environmental performance and computing, with an emphasis on their implications for human health and integration with human-centered design, engineering, and human-computer interaction. This involves integrating and developing frameworks and software platforms that leverage foundational computational methods—spanning AI, machine learning, natural language processing, physics-based simulation, big data, and sensing—to create efficient, user-friendly applications. In particular, his work focuses on spatiotemporal modeling of built environment performance, exploring factors such as energy, ambient air pollution, and climate change and their impacts on public health, while integrating human feedback systems through large language models and sentiment analysis to inform adaptive, health-centric design strategies.
