I specialize in mobile sensing, space computing, and computational design, exploring how emerging technologies can deepen our understanding of human–environment interactions and translate it into actionable design intelligence.

I hold an MSc in Connected Environments from University College London (CASA), a Master’s in Landscape Architecture from Beijing Forestry University, and a Bachelor of Engineering from China Agricultural University. This interdisciplinary background across design, engineering, and space computing enables me to approach spatial challenges with both qualitative insight and quantitative rigor.

My recent research focuses on bridging machine perception and spatial cognition, particularly within data-sparse heritage habitats, where human–environment complexity remains largely invisible to conventional tools. To address this gap, I develop integrated methodologies that combine multimodal sensing, geospatial analytics, and computational modeling.

I operationalise this agenda through three interconnected strands:

I aim to advance a paradigm of environmental intelligence, where spatial data and human experience evolve together as co-informing components in the design process.
