More recently, Azam has been exploring modeling and simulation including physics-based generative design, air flow and occupant flow in an architectural context, and simulation visualization and validation based on sensor-networks.

In 2009, Azam founded and chaired SimAUD, the Symposium on Simulation for Architecture and Urban Design to foster cross-pollination between the simulation research and the architecture research communities. Azam is also the Principal Investigator of the Parametric Human project and, in 2010, Azam became a founding member of the International Society of Human Simulation.
