Sneha Jain
Assistant Professor
Sneha Jain is an Assistant Professor of Building Science at SAPL. Her research exists at the critical intersection of building technology, sustainability, and human well-being. Dr. Jain is trained as an architect and building scientist and holds a PhD from EPFL, where she investigated the influence of daylight's colour and intensity on visual comfort.
Before joining the University of Calgary, she was a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University, and a research fellow at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, working on various research projects focused on enhancing human comfort in indoor environments. At the University of Calgary, her research program centers around three key themes: uncovering empirical links between indoor environmental parameters and human health outcomes; advancing the design of building envelopes to optimize daylight and occupant comfort; and translating behavioural findings into evidence-based design strategies. Dr. Jain is passionate about mentoring students who are eager to build a healthier, more equitable, and truly sustainable future.
