Matteo Favero is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland. He is currently a member of the Human-Oriented Built Environment Lab (HOBEL), which aims to advance knowledge on the interaction between people and buildings by ensuring high indoor environmental quality for occupants while minimising energy consumption. Prior to joining HOBEL, he was a member of the ETHOS Lab (Engineering and Technology for Human-Oriented Sustainability), an interdisciplinary research group focused on leveraging data-driven and computational tools to develop interventions in the built environment that support social and environmental sustainability goals.He completed his PhD in October 2022 at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. Before enrolling in the PhD program, Matteo obtained both his MSc and BSc in Building Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
