Dr. Hua Ge

Biography

Dr. Ge received his Ph.D. in Building Engineering from Concordia University in 2003. He served as the Director of the Building Science Centre of Excellence at the British Columbia Institute of Technology from 2004 to 2009, where he established a research center, championed the Master of Building Science program, and developed a major Building Envelope Test Facility. He worked in the Department of Architectural Science at Ryerson University for over two years (2010-2012) before joining the Department of Building, Civil, and Environmental Engineering at Concordia in August 2012. Dr. Ge holds a Tier II Concordia University Research Chair (CURC) in High Performance Building Envelope and Climate Resilient Buildings. His expertise includes large-scale laboratory testing, field monitoring, and modeling hygrothermal performance of building envelopes, as well as quantifying wind-driven rain loads through field measurements and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling. His current research interests encompass the impact of climate change on wind-driven rain loads, urban micro-climates affecting building performance, climate resilience in building envelopes, and dynamic building facades that promote low-carbon and healthy buildings. He has supervised numerous graduate students and has contributed extensively to research in high performance housing and nature-based solutions.
