Main Research Themes
Space quality and vitality
The interdisciplinary application of big data and machine learning technologies to analyze the association between built environment and street vitality.
Spatial morphology and human activity patterns
The study of spatial morphology and human activity patterns reveals how various architectural and urban forms influence interactions and behaviors with space.
Human-nature Interaction and Wellbeing
Exploring the dynamic relationships between humans and urban natural environments to enhance mental and physical health.Exploring the dynamic relationships between humans and urban natural environments to enhance mental and physical health.

Portfolio
As human society expands, our living spaces gradually encroach on the habitats of natural wildlife, leading to an increasing number of conflicts between humans and animals. Humans have become less tolerant of other species entering their domains, and even contact between people has diminished. Recently, there has been a growing indifference towards urban public spaces.
Both on campuses and in society at large, many spaces remain abandoned for long periods. The transition from vacating a space to establishing a new function can take months or even years, involving factors such as design, timelines, funding, and project approval. During this time, is there a way to reduce the inconvenience and disruption caused to the surrounding areas due to the lack of functionality? My answer is temporary buildings.
This work looks to the future from a modern perspective, where the concept of sustainability remains consistent. The difference lies in technology and construction precision. While past systems were not interconnected, they are now. The future will be even more integrated and intelligent. By incorporating energy-efficient systems that can be reused within the building itself, the environmental impact can be minimized, thereby realizing the building as a sustainable living entity.

Urban planners, transportation engineers, and park managers lack systematic tools to monitor and predict the usage of urban parks and greenways. Measuring the usage patterns of urban nature is a prerequisite to understanding which factors are associated with the success of the place. Such monitoring data can contribute to a better understanding of how to improve urban residents’ exposure to nature and well-being.

titled "Balancing Work Production and Social Contribution". The project involved actual construction within the team and took about three days to complete. The goal was to create a temporary shelter by covering a completed framework with materials such as vinyl sheets, thus giving it the functionality of temporary housing. Special attention was given to the seams in the construction.

A bedroom in a shared apartment. The rent is 2,000 yuan per month, and the tenant is a graduate student at Shanghai University. Since we didn't want to spend a lot of money, we decided to use the limited funds we had to create a cozy atmosphere in the space. To achieve this, we used pallet boards as the primary material. The reason for choosing pallet boards is that they are uniformly sized, easy to assemble, and can be disassembled and reassembled as needed by removing and reattaching the boards and legs.
