Bio
Dr Kevin Ka-Lun Lau is Research Assistant Professor at Institute of Future Cities, The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His primary research interest is on the relationship between the built environment and urban climate, with a particular focus on human thermal comfort in outdoor environment. His research ranges from numerical modelling of urban microclimate to field studies of outdoor thermal comfort, with over 50 articles published in peer-reviewed journals. He is a member of the WMO Expert Network of the Commission for Observation, Infrastructure and Information Systems and the Commission for Weather, Climate, Water and Related Environmental Services and Applications.
Dr Lau is also affiliated with CUHK Jockey Club Institute of Ageing where he collaborates with public health experts on the inter-relationships between the built environment, urban climate and the health of citizens. He is experienced in translation research which transfers scientific knowledge into practical guidance in climate-sensitive urban planning and design. He is currently working on a collaborative project on increasing the resilience of elderly population to the impacts of extreme hot weather in the future, which focuses on enhancing weather information services, mitigation strategies through neighbourhood and building design, and awareness and preparedness of elderly population through community services. He is also leading an international study of developing a global database for outdoor thermal comfort studies and establishing a standardised methodology for conducting outdoor thermal comfort surveys under the IAUC working group of outdoor thermal comfort.
Research Interests
Effect of urban morphology and vegetation on urban climate and their implications on urban planning and design
Outdoor thermal comfort in urban environment – field studies and numerical modelling approach
Healthy communities - how the built environment affects the health and wellbeing of citizens in high-density cities.
