Welcome
I am Dr. Irfan Qaisar, with a Ph.D. in Control Science and Engineering from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
My research focuses on artificial intelligence for smart and sustainable built environments, particularly at the intersection of occupant sensing, machine learning, large language models, intelligent control, and building energy systems.
My current research interests include occupancy sensing and prediction, multimodal AI, large language models, agentic AI, occupant-centric HVAC control, building energy management, model predictive control, reinforcement learning, and building energy simulation.
My research combines real-world building data, computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, foundation models, and physics-based simulation to develop intelligent, energy-efficient, and human-centered building systems.
