DrFederico Tartarini

My service and leadership combine institutional roles, professional committee work, open-source stewardship, and public engagement to translate research into practice and policy.

Institutional & Academic Leadership

• Horizon Fellowship Recipient and Senior Lecturer roles at the University of Sydney.
• Lead and co-lead research themes ("Landscape & Built Environment" at the Heat and Health Research Centre; "Climate Disaster and Adaptation" at the Sydney Environment Institute), coordinating multidisciplinary teams and translating research into policy-relevant outputs.
• Supervise students and contribute to curriculum and teaching across environmental engineering and architectural science.

Professional Service

• Voting Member, ASHRAE Standard Committee 55: contribute to international standards development.
• Maintain and contribute to widely used community tools (CBE Thermal Comfort Tool, pythermalcomfort, jsthermalcomfort, CBE Clima Tool), providing technical stewardship, code review, and documentation to support reproducible science.
• Peer review, editorial and advisory activities (implicit in academic roles and publication record) that support field quality and rigour.

Community, Industry & Public Engagement

• Co-founder and Chief Software Engineer at EMU Systems: led real-time monitoring deployments at major events (Paris 2024, Australian Open), demonstrating leadership in translating research into operational solutions.
• Develop and maintain public-facing applications (HeatWatch, SMA Extreme Heat Tool, Burn Survivor Heat Risk Calculator) designed with community consultation to support heat-health preparedness and decision-making.
• Educational outreach via a YouTube channel (tutorials on Python, LaTeX and tools) to promote reproducible research and build technical capacity.

Mentorship & Capacity Building

• Supervise and mentor postgraduate researchers, emphasising open science, reproducible workflows and applied impact.
• Support student skill development through teaching, guest lectures and hands-on projects integrating sensors, wearables and modelling.
