Biography

Dr. Albatayneh is currently working in Jordan as an associate professor at the German Jordanian University (GJU). He completed his BSc. and Ph.D. in Australia. He is passionate about utilizing energy fields, so he studied renewable energy engineering at the UNSW and conducted Ph.D. studies focusing on energy efficiency and low-energy buildings (minimizing cooling and heating energy consumption) at the University of Newcastle in Australia. His research interests and experience are interdisciplinary, and he utilizes modeling and an experimental approach. Dr. Albatayneh worked as a national consultant for providing technical assistance to upscaling energy efficiency programs in the Arab region – of Jordan. ESCWA is implementing a UN Development Account Project on “Upscaling Energy Efficiency in the residential and services sectors in the Arab Region.” The project’s objective is to substantially enhance ESCWA member countries’ capacity to improve and optimize energy efficiency in the building sector and upscale energy efficiency programs in the existing residential and non-residential building stock. Also, he is currently running some funded projects such as; Advice and support of bilateral Energy partnerships with developing and Emerging countries -Jordan” funded by the GIZ; and Climate Change Resilient Cities “CLIC” funded by the DAAD. The core of his research focuses on the emerging field of low-energy solutions design, renewable energy systems, energy efficiency, heating and cooling, environmental studies, economics, and management. During his career at the German Jordanian University, he has conducted research with fellow students and research collaborators from Europe and Australia. He has published more than 80 research papers, an updated list of which can be found on Google Scholar and ResearchGate.
