Dr Ozgur Gocer
Dr Gocer is an architect and she holds a PhD in Building Science from the Istanbul Technical University (Turkey). Before joining the University of Sydney as a lecturer, she was doing a post-doc at the Indoor Environmental Quality Lab with the study of “The impact of indoor environment quality on work efficiency and building energy performance in intelligent workplaces”. Her project was focused on the relationship between indoor environmental quality design parameters and work productivity. Her research interests relate to the sustainable building design, building and building materials performance simulations, and post-occupancy evaluation for indoor and outdoor spaces.
• Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE)
• Thermal comfort
• Sustainable building design
