Philipp Geyer received a Diploma and a Doctor of Engineering (Ph.D.) from the Technical University of Berlin, Berlin, Germany, in 2003 and 2010, respectively. Since 2014 he has been an Assistant Professor at the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Engineering Science, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. His research field is sustainable building design, construction, and technology supported by intelligent computation, modeling, and simulation. In his doctoral research, which he partly conducted as a visiting scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Cambridge, MA, USA, he developed a method for applying multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) to building design. As a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Technische Universität München (TUM), Munich, Germany and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zürich (ETH), Zürich, Switzerland, he conducted research on performance-oriented and strategic design by systems engineering and developed the method of parametric systems modeling (PSM) for the built environment. He has more than 40 publications in international journals, books, and proceedings, and coedited three scientific peer-reviewed publications. As cofounder of the research enterprise Watergy, he is responsible for system design, optimization, and construction of innovative heating, cooling, and air-conditioning systems. Dr. Geyer is a committee member of the European Group for Intelligent Computing in Engineering (eg-ice).
