Elie Bou-Zeid is Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. An expert in atmospheric physics and micrometeorology, Prof. Bou-Zeid serves as Editor of the American Meteorological Society’s Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences. His research is broadly focused measurement and modelling of air flow and energy transfer in the lower atmosphere, with applications to urban environmental quality, building energy efficiency, wind energy production, and polar sea ice fluctuations. Prof. Bou-Zeid is the founding director of Princeton’s School of Engineering and Applied Science’s Metropolis Project, which brings together a diverse group of investigators to advance urban technological innovations that make cities more sustainable, resilient, livable, and equitable.
