Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTheo Christiaanse is a senior research officer and PhD-trained engineer with nine years of experience applying data-driven modeling and Python-based tools to make buildings and housing more affordable, efficient, and safe. He blends academic rigor from a PhD and postdoc in energy systems with hands-on product and project management at OPEN Technologies, translating surrogate and physics-based models into practical retrofit and energy insights. Comfortable bridging clients, developers, and researchers, he has built open-source learning tools and worked extensively in Jupyter-based workflows and IoT-informed building analysis. Based in Vancouver, he favors values-driven work—curiosity, sustainability, and balance—and deliberately maintains a “Gen AI Free” zone to preserve independent thinking in his research.
