Brief Introduction:

Dr., Assistant Professor, and Master's Supervisor, National First-Class Registered Architect.

He obtained his Ph.D. in Engineering from the Department of Architecture at Tongji University and was a joint Ph.D. researcher with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as well as a visiting scholar at the National University of Singapore.

He has long been engaged in research on sports architecture, zero energy building design and urban microclimate. As a primary designer, he contributed to the design of top-tier sports facilities, including the Shanghai Oriental Sports Center, the Nantong Sports Center Stadium, the Shanghai Chongming Sports Training Base and Velodrome, and the Jining Olympic Sports Center. He also led the design and construction of three Solar Decathlon residential projects: the Bamboo House, Y-Container, and Para-Eco House.

As the first or corresponding author, he has published over ten research papers in top-tier SCI journals and core domestic journals, and he serves as a reviewer for several English-language journals, including Energy and Buildings and Journal of Building Engineering, etc..
