Mandana Sarey Khanie is an Assistant Professor in Daylighting and Lighting at the section for Indoor Environments. She is specialized in daylighting and visual comfort through her PhD studies in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale du Lausanne (EPFL), at the Laboratory of Performance-Integrated Design (LIPID). Mandana has Postdoctoral experiences at EPDL and DTU. Her research and teaching focuses on indoor environment quality and use of lighting and daylighting. In recent years she has been working on projects including: façade strategies for prevented overheating and maximum daylight use, daylighting potentials in residential buildings, integrated lighting and daylighting control system strategies, a novel gaze-driven photometry for observing natural gaze behavior in relation to conditions constrained by real world luminous environment, and development of a preliminary mathematical model (GRL) for gaze response predictions in relation to light. Mandana has experiences as scientific consultant for Velux Denmark, Smart-living lab Switzerland, and as daylight specialist at Åf groups Sweden. She has teaching and supervision experiences and has published several papers in international conferences and journals.  She owns a Master of Science in Design for Sustainable Development and a Master of Science in Architectural Engineering.
