Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPatrick Kastner is an Assistant Professor at Georgia Tech and director of the Sustainable Urban Systems Lab who applies systems engineering and software to decarbonize buildings and cities. With 11 years of experience and a PhD in Systems Science and Engineering from Cornell, he builds practical tools—most notably Eddy3D, a microclimate modeling toolkit integrated into Rhino & Grasshopper—that are used by academic and professional practitioners. He leads the interdisciplinary Surrogate Modeling for Urban Regeneration (SMUR) Vertically Integrated Project, mentoring students across engineering and design to translate complex urban simulation into decision-ready software. Trained in Germany in sustainable building science and energy engineering, he blends computational fluid dynamics, surrogate modeling, and hands-on teaching to make sustainability actionable for urban decision-makers. An often-overlooked thread in his career is his early work automating climate analyses and measurement systems that bridged research, industry, and public projects like Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay.
