Autorenporträt
Tristan Kershaw is currently an Associate Professor in Climate Resilience at the University of Bath. Tristan graduated from the University of Exeter in 2004 with a Master's degree in Physics and went on to study for a PhD in low temperature solid state physics. After completing his PhD, he joined the Centre for Energy and the Environment also at the University of Exeter as a research fellow in climate change adaptation working on a variety of 'building physics' related research and consultancy projects, including the creation of probabilistic future weather years for the thermal modelling of buildings and the simulation and design adaptation of several exemplar buildings across the southwest region. Since 2014, Tristan has worked at the University of Bath in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering, teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate, engineers and architects on the topics of building physics, sustainability, climate change and the dynamic modelling of building designs.
