Constanza Molina Carvallo is an Associate Professor at the School of Civil Construction, Faculty of Engineering. She holds a PhD in Sustainable Energy Technology from the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, and a professional degree in Civil Construction from Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. Her academic work combines research, teaching, and institutional leadership in the fields of indoor environmental quality, building performance, health, and sustainability.
She has led and collaborated on national and international research projects, including the Fondecyt Initiation indoor air quality of Chilean houses, the IEA EBC Annex 86 on Energy Efficient Indoor Air Quality Management in Residential Buildings, IEA EBC Annex 101 on indoor environmental quality, and the MASSEv project on monitoring, mapping, and modelling air quality for sustainable environments in cities and communities. She has also collaborated on projects addressing health impacts from pesticide exposure and on a SUSESO-funded project on SARS-CoV-2 infection risk in workplaces.
At Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, she teaches undergraduate and postgraduate courses on materials technology, habitability, energy sustainability, health, and the built environment. Her academic work integrates building science, environmental health, and sustainable construction, contributing to the development of healthier, more resilient, and more sustainable buildings and cities.
