University College London (UCL)

Dimitrios Rovas is Professor of Building Simulation and Optimisation at the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources, University College London, where he developed and leads the MSc in Smart Buildings and Digital Engineering and heads the corresponding research team. He has spent the last fifteen years researching smart buildings, with a focus on computational approaches to energy modelling, semantic data integration, and the middleware that turns building data into operational intelligence. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering from MIT and previously held academic posts at the University of Paris VI, the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the Technical University of Crete. He has led more than twenty major research projects advancing data-driven platforms for building operation, and co-led the International Energy Agency's Annex 81 on Data-Driven Smart Buildings, a collaboration spanning nineteen countries. He is co-founder and
chairman of Tacit Analytics, a UCL spinout developing reusable AI agents for smart buildings and building decision-making, where research on semantic digital twins is being translated into commercial practice.
