Brandon Byers joins the CEA lab as PhD student
Broadly interested in the pillars of triple bottom line sustainability for the built environment, he is excited to conduct research into developing new tools and approaches for stakeholders in order to disrupt traditional forms of design and construction.
Brandon completed his BS in Civil Engineering at Georgia Tech with high honors and a focus on structural engineering. From there, he worked for AECOM in the Washington DC Metro office as a structural engineer on dams and hydraulic structures. While at AECOM he also was a Project Engineer at Mosul Dam for eight months on the emergency grouting operations project. He then pursued his MS at Stanford University in Sustainable Design and Construction with a structures concentration. Here his research interests involved designing for wellbeing through observational studies and virtual reality as well as quantifying sustainability through Life Cycle Assessments and metrics such as embodied carbon.
The Chair of Circular Engineering for Architecture (CEA) develops research on matching reused architectural materials with people and projects through digitalization for a circular built environment. For more information visit our webpage
