Currently serving as an Associate Professor of Architecture at Keene State College, Fernando de Ama holds a PhD in Architectural Acoustics from the School of Architecture of Madrid, Spain. He studied the spatial perception of an architectural project and empirical parameters for the qualification of a concert hall. He has seventeen years of teaching experience related to construction technology, building physics, acoustics, energy management in buildings, building construction, and architectural design. His research interests are related to energy simulation and monitoring systems in net-zero energy buildings; new materials for regenerative buildings; active noise control and acoustical components; and geometric considerations for the spatial perception of an architectural project.
