Digital Design, Architecture Intelligence, Environment Performance Optimization

Jiawei Yao is an academic researcher and architect, who recently focus on AI in Architecture, especially in the field of environment and energy performance optimization. He received his master and Ph.D from the University of Nottingham, UK during 2010 to 2016. After that, Yao started his Post-doctor in Prof. Philip F. Yuan’s research group in the College of Architecture and Urban Planning(CAUP) at Tongji University. Right now, he is an associate professor in CAUP, and received several national research funding. He has published more than 40 research papers in journals, including Building and Environment, while he served as a guest editor in BAE.
