B.Eng M.Arch

Overview

I joined the WSA as a full-time PhD student in 2024. Prior to this, I earned my B.Eng with honors from Lanzhou Jiaotong University in 2020 and my M.Arch (GPA 3.81) from the Macau University of Science and Technology (MUST) in 2024. My master's thesis explored the relationship between the folk dwelling heritage of marginalized groups and society.

In addition, I participated in the International Postgraduate Workshops in 2023, where I exchanged projects with students from Tsinghua University, Waseda University, and others. I also attended the 4th International Conference on Built Heritage Research (Tongji University, 2023) and the Special Session at the HKU Urban Systems Institute Inaugural Conference (University of Hong Kong, 2024), where I presented papers.

From 2020 to 2021, I worked as an architectural designer at Shenzhen Architectural Design and Research Co., Ltd. in China, contributing to various bidding projects.

Currently, I am focusing on informal settlements and the heritage values of dwellings.
