Lan Ding is an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Built Environment. She received her PhD at the University of Sydney's Faculty of Architecture, Design and Planning. Prior to joining the Faculty of Built Environment at UNSW, Lan held the position of Senior Research Scientist at CSIRO (2000-2011) and Senior Lecturer at the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre at the University of Wollongong (2011-September 2013).

Lan is a Member of STANDARDS Australia Committee, IT-268 Sustainable Cities and Communities, Convenor of in Built Environment, and was at CRC for Low Carbon Living, and Co-Chair of SBE16 International High-Performance Built Environment Conference().

Lan has over 20years research experience in sustainable building design, regulation, energy efficiency, sustainable urban development and environmental analysis, intelligent building systems, smart cites and communities, urban heatmitigation and adaptation, decision-making models, building information modelling (BIM),urban informatics, multi-agent modelling, GIS, buildinglife cycle assessment, as well as the application of artificial intelligence (AI) to built and urban environments.

Lan has won various awards for research innovation and leadership, including Award for Excellence from the City of Port Phillip, national and state awards from the Australian Institute of Building, the Fresh Innovators Award and the CSIRO Divisional Award for excellence in a successful project providing an invaluable information resource to help the land development industry create more sustainable neighbourhoods.
