Research Methods Coordinator
Lina Al-Khatib coordinates the research methods workstream within ABLAQ’s environmental-physics programmes. This role connects the programme’s scientific questions to a clear, traceable research process.
Coordinate the explicit definition of surfaces, obstructions, radiation components and temporal conventions. Keep the distinction between a geometric transmission factor and a building-performance prediction visible in the methods.
Organize comparable parameter sets, denominators and seasonal definitions. Ensure that direct exposure, diffuse sky access and combined scenarios answer distinct, clearly framed questions.
Connect assumptions and methodological choices to the conclusions they support, working with scientific leadership and documentation.
The current research series spans solar geometry and radiative environments. Responsibility is coordinated with Osama Khaled, Scientific Research Lead, who directs scientific decisions and publication.
These are programme responsibilities; specific contributions to an individual release are documented in its own attribution record.
