About
Negar H. Matin, Ph.D., LEED GA, is an Assistant Professor at the Gibbs College of Architecture at the University of Oklahoma. She holds a Ph.D. in Technology from the College of Engineering and Technology at Eastern Michigan University (EMU) where she was selected as a doctoral fellow for five continuous years working on high-performance building systems and their impact on occupants’ comfort and building energy consumption. Her research interest is an interdisciplinary area between interior architecture, building science, and advanced technology. She is the recipient of various awards such as EMU Outstanding Ph.D. Student of the Year, GRC Outstanding Poster Presentation, and Jones-Beckwith Advanced Graduate Studies scholarship. In 2021, Dr. Matin established the OU High-Performance Interior Architecture Laboratory (HPIA Lab) to design and develop high-performance building interiors to provide comfort and well-being for occupants with ultimate energy efficiency.
