Marilyne Andersen is an assistant professor in the Building Technology Group of MIT’s School of Architecture and Planning since summer 2004 and is the chair holder of the Mitsui Career Development Professorship since July 2008.
Trained as a physicist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Lausanne, Switzerland, she went on to specialize in daylighting and completed her Ph.D. there at the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory after having spent a year as a Visiting Scholar in the building technologies department of the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab in California.
In addition to her teaching responsibilities, she supervises thesis work for undergraduate and graduate students in architecture, building technology, and mechanical engineering. Her research focuses on the use and optimization of daylight in buildings led her to pursue interdisciplinary exchanges among architecture, physics, and environmental issues. She is currently working on projects related to advanced glazing and shading systems, visual and thermal comfort, the implications of light on health from a design standpoint and the visualization of daylighting performance and metrics in design.
