Research Statement

As a building scientist who is endeavoring to enhance human living conditions, I am enthusastic in improving building and urban intelligence through computing and statistical techniques. This intelligence includes sustainability with energy efficiency and renewable energy integration, robustness with resilience and stable performance, and human-centered services with personalization and improvements tailored to occupants’ needs. Currently, the architecture, engineering, and construction (A/E/C) industry lags behind in adapting to the rapid development of computing power and new techniques, which are capable of dramatically benefitting building stakeholders in numerous ways.
