As an architect and researcher. I work at the intersection of urban environment, technology and human health. I am always wondering how to bridge the gap between academia and industry, and use practice-oriented research or research-based design to address people’s needs and concerns, and build a better neighbourhood, a better service, a better product, further a better life for people living in their cities. 

How can I use my knowledge and background? 

In my opinion, research and design are two essential parts of finding a solution. In fact, they are inseparable. In this process, it is very important to have strong problem-solving skills and a passion for design. I believe that I will be the person to bring these qualities to the table.

​

Firstly, I am able to quickly gain a comprehensive understanding of the context using my research skills from my doctoral training, such as using effective search skills, advanced tools and analytical skills to navigate this process, exploring the relationship between context and people. 

​

Secondly, as a trained architect, my design skills encompass not only architectural design, but also a unique aesthetic sensibility, a human-centred design principle, a creative mindset and various innovative approaches. My passion for design and research has allowed me to endlessly explore the possibilities of “better environment, better human life” and has sparked my interest to explore different solutions through interdisciplinary collaborations.
