Biography
Adriana Lira-Oliver obtained a Doctor in Design (DDes) degree from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 2006. Her recent work has focused on the study of new materials with a higher energy efficiency than conventional materials to thermally regulate indoor spaces by passive means in many temperate climates. Her recent research projects include dynamic building envelopes with changing thermal and optical properties applied to different climates in Mexico, and smart systems to increase building operation energy efficiency.
