Postdoctoral Scholar, BEARS
Dr. Pandarasamy Arjunan (Samy) is currently working as a postdoctoral scholar at Berkeley Education Alliance for Research in Singapore (BEARS) Limited (a research center of the University of California, Berkeley, USA), in Singapore. He earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering from Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology Delhi (IIIT-Delhi), India, in 2018. He received the IBM Ph.D. Fellowship for two years to support his research while pursuing his Ph.D. He also worked as a visiting graduate researcher at the University of California, Los Angeles, USA. His research interests lie in the intersection of cyber-physical systems and data science, focusing on smart environments and energy sustainability applications. He specifically focuses on developing scalable systems and data-driven predictive models that facilitate efficient energy management in built environments. He also explores Infrared Thermography (IRT) techniques to enable non-intrusive building diagnosis and energy auditing at the city scale.

The three main global energy concerns of providing access to modern energy, enhancing the security of the energy supply, and minimising the impact of energy systems on the climate have an impact on both national and international energy governance. To develop solutions that address the many facets of these difficulties, however, a variety of actors and stakeholders must be included due to the complexity of the energy challenges.
Cities are responsible for more than 70% of the world’s energy consumption and 40% to 50% of its greenhouse gas emissions. Managing increasing urbanisation is a challenge, and nations must deal with the effects it will have on the environment in terms of energy and climate.
Our transition to a future with lower carbon emissions depends heavily on buildings. They are our places of residence, rest, and employment; they also account for around one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 40% of the world’s energy usage.
