Riccardo Paolini
Riccardo by training is a building engineer and he received a Ph.D. in Building Systems Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Italy, in 2011. He joined UNSW Built Environment in February 2017. He is an Associate Professor in the High Performance Architecture research cluster, where he is also the manager of the HPA Lab. Riccardo is also an affiliate of the Heat Island Group, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA. Riccardo's main research interests concern cool materials for urban heat mitigation and shortwave radiation in the built environment. More broadly, his interest is in building physics and its applications to the design of building and urban envelopes, with a specific focus on the hygrothermal performance over time, namely during the service life of building and urban assets, and the mutual influence between buildings – and their energy needs – and the urban microclimate.
