From road coatings to a sweating manikin, these ASU research projects are helping Arizonans keep their cool

From road coatings to a sweating manikin, these ASU research projects are helping Arizonans keep their cool

As climate trends trigger rising temperatures and more persistent heat, ASU researchers are working to enable people to remain safe and healthy in such conditions. Among projects are a thermal manikin that can measure the effects of extreme heat on humans so they can design adequate solutions. Leaders of that work include Konrad Rykaczewski, an associate professor in the School for Engineering of Matter, Transport and Energy. Other faculty members involved in related projects are Ariane Middel, an assistant professor in the School of Computing and Augmented Intelligence and Narayanan Neithalath, a professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment.
