Holly Samuelson is an American educator, architect, and building science researcher; she is an associate professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Design (GSD) in Cambridge, Massachusetts[1] and a core research faculty at the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities[2]. From 2017- 2022, Samuelson served as the Co-head of the Master of Design, Energy, and Environment program at Harvard.[3][4]
Early Life and Education
Samuelson grew up in a steel mill town outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, regularly visiting her grandparents’ paper mill community, and attributes her interest in the environment to her early experience of the sights and smells of humans’ impact on the world.[5] She received a Bachelor of Architecture from Carnegie Mellon University, where she won the Henry Adams Medal (now the Medal for Academic Excellence[6]) from the American Institute of Architects[7]. She received a Master of Design in 2009 a Doctor of Design in 2013 both from Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design, where she won the Gerald M. McCue Medal[8] in 2009.
Career and Recognition
Samuelson joined the Harvard faculty in 2012 where she teaches graduate classes and publishes peer-reviewed research on environmental sustainability and health in buildings.[1][9][10] Her work advancing the use of building energy modeling won her the Outstanding Young Contributor Award from the International Building Performance Simulation Association USA in 2014, making her the first woman honored by the organization.[11] Her research investigating the moisture and energy performance of buildings has also been commended at the Passive and Low Energy Architecture Conference and won a “Best Paper Award” for the period 2018-2022 from the Journal of Energy and Buildings.[12][13]
For her expertise on health and energy issues in buildings, Samuelson has been interviewed by media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal,[14]BBC,[15]The Boston Globe,[16]The Washington Post,[17] and Woman's Health.[18]
