Research title: Applications of Digital Twin Technology in Preserving, Prolonging and Enhancing the Utilization of Historic Architecture
Research Summary
I am a PhD Civil Engineering student at Glasgow University, looking at the energy and thermal retrofit of historic buildings, and policy surrounding their protection. My work in particular will focus on the Gilbert Scott (Main Building).
My MEng dissertation explored the energy and thermal retrofit of a pre-1919 building set on the University of Glasgow campus. I received a distinction for this, and presented my research at Cardiff University in competition for the Hammerman Award. I was also placed on the James Watt School of Engineering Excellence List for my MEng output.
