Shady Attia is an Egyptian-Belgian academic and architectural engineer.[1] He is a professor of Sustainable Architecture and Building Technology at the University of Liège, where he leads the Laboratory of Sustainable Building Design.[2][3]
Education
[edit]Attia completed his undergraduate studies in architectural engineering at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Helwan University in 2002. He then pursued a Master of Science in Landscape Design and Urban Planning at Wageningen University, specializing in urban climate. In 2009, he began a PhD in building physics at Texas A&M University and later completed it at UCLouvain, where his research focused on zero-energy buildings, later worked as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne.[4][5]
Career
[edit]He began his career in 2014 and joined the University of Liège's School of Engineering as a faculty member,[6] becoming an associate professor in 2016 and a Full Professor in 2020.[7] He has authored more than 120 peer-reviewed journal articles and over 100 conference papers, books, and technical reports.[8][9] He is actively involved with the International Building Performance Simulation Association (IBPSA) and several International Energy Agency (IEA) committees.[10] He is an active member of different ISO committees representing the Belgian Bureau of Normalization with a focus on Circular Economy in the Construction Sector.
He is also a member of the Society of Building Science Educators[11] and co-founder of the Doctoral Seminar for Sustainability in the Built Environment in Belgium.[12]
Attia is ranked among the top 2% of scientists globally by Stanford University,[13] and his book Regenerative and Positive Impact Architecture has been widely used and recognized for its relevance to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
