Jonathan Grinham

Jonathan Grinham is an Assistant Professor of Architecture at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. His research brings an intensely interdisciplinary approach to climate change and the built environment, connecting material science with building science and design to examine questions on materiality, thermal health, and lifecycle carbon emissions. These questions have sparked the development of novel technologies, publications, patents, and a start-up company, Trellis Air Corporation, that deliver low-carbon climate solutions through material innovation. Jonathan is a Faculty Associate with the Harvard Center for Green Buildings and Cities, the Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability, and the Aizenberg Lab at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. He holds degrees in architecture and building science from Virginia Tech and a Doctor of Design degree from the Harvard GSD.
