With a steadfast commitment to advancing the field of built environment, I am a PhD candidate poised to graduate around the end of 2024. My research journey began from my master's degree. Over the past few years, I have actively participated in research projects centered around both indoor and outdoor thermal environment. Specializing in the development of urban heat mitigation strategies and assessment of urban heat vulnerability, I have made solid contribution to the sustainability and comfortable living environment.
Prior to my researcher career, I worked as an architect over three years of invaluable experience, actively contributing to and assuming responsibility for multiple real-world engineering design projects. This dual perspective, merging theoretical expertise with practical acumen, uniquely positions me at the nexus of innovative research and applied architectural solutions.
Research interests include but are not limited to:
- Urban heat vulnerability assessment
- Urban heat mitigation strategies
- Sustainable building design and user comfort
- Indoor and outdoor thermal environment simulation and sustainability evaluation
- CFD technology for the indoor and outdoor environment analysis
- Research area
- Research outputs
- Urban heat vulnerability assessment
- Urban heat mitigation strategies
- CFD simulation
