Dr. Aytaç Kubilay

Research area

Aytaç Kubilay is an Oberassistent (Senior Researcher) at the Chair of Building Physics at ETH Zurich. His current research deals with numerical modeling of urban microclimate, mainly at building/neighborhood scale. His research interests include wind-flow modeling, local urban heat islands, heat island mitigation measures, thermal comfort, wind-driven rain, porous media and heat and mass transfer. His Ph.D. work focused on the modeling of wind-driven rain in urban areas by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and field experiments.
