About
Stephanie Gauthier is an Associate Professor in Energy and Buildings within the Energy and Climate Change Group and the Director of Recruitment to the School of Engineering at the University of Southampton.
She has been an academic at Southampton since 2015. Having graduated in Architecture from the University of Paris Val de Seine, she completed her MSc in Environmental Design and Engineering and her PhD in Energy and the Built Environment at University College London. Having completed her PGCert in Academic Practice at the University of Southampton, she is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
Her research focuses on energy demand in buildings, specifically occupants’ behaviours and thermal comfort. Her research projects include infrastructure systems and health, social care interventions, flexible demand-side management trials, low carbon technologies uptake in UK homes, trials of technologies in district heating networks. Currently, she is a co-I on several funded projects, including the EPSRC funded LATENT project.
She coordinates recruitment and leads the Sustainable Energy and Buildings theme of the UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Sustainability. This CDT trains 70 PhD students in the application of AI to improve the environment.
She teaches Building Physics and Statistics on MSc courses; and is a Design Tutor on Civil Engineering Undergraduate courses.

Current research
My main research focuses on energy demand in buildings, specifically occupants’ behaviours and thermal comfort. My research applies a range of data collection methods (from occupants’ qualitative surveys to in-situ environmental monitoring) and data analysis methods (from content analysis to inferential and time-series analysis).
I am currently an investigator on the following projects:
- LATENT: Residential Heat as an Energy System Service, EPSRC
- Liveable cities: urban climate interventions assessment, WUN
- Centre of Excellence in Low Carbon Comfort (LCCC), University of Southampton
- UKRI AI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Sustainability
My past projects included:
- REPLENISH: REimagining PLaces and ENgineering Infrastructure Systems for Health, MRC
- SENSE: Seamless & ENgaging home SErvices: Making Efficiency Desirable, BEIS
- Sources, behaviour and mitigation strategies influencing indoor air quality, STFC
- ESDP: Elderly Support Digital Platform, Innovate UK (102831)
- H2020-EEB-2016 European project THERMOSS (723562)
- Scoping Review on Occupancy Patterns, DECC
After my PhD, I was a research associate at the UCL Energy Institute. Part of Cisco Future Cities project, her research focused on demand-side response from commercial buildings.
Prior to my MSc, I worked for over eight years in consultancy (Arup, HOK, Atkins, ADPi and AREP), mostly focused on buildings and infrastructure. As an architect and project manager in multi-disciplinary design teams, I collaborated on schemes in Abu Dhabi, UK, France and China; including the Oriental Art Center in Shanghai, the King Alfred Development in association with Gehry Partners, BSkyB broadcast centre in London and Abu Dhabi National Stadium.
