I am an architect, researcher, and engineer working at the intersection of architecture, computation, robotics, and digital fabrication. My work focuses on how advanced design methods, material intelligence, and automated technologies can reshape the way we design and make—particularly at the scale of architectural components and experimental structures.

I hold a Master of Science from the University of Pennsylvania, where I specialized in robotic fabrication and automated systems, and a Bachelor of Architecture from Harbin Institute of Technology. Currently, I work as a Lab Engineer at Tsinghua University Shenzhen International Graduate School, supporting research and teaching in digital technologies, fabrication, and experimental prototyping.  Alongside academia, I have industry experience as a Product Director, leading the development of intelligent hardware systems that integrate mechanical design, control systems, and manufacturing workflows.

My research interests include computational design, robotic and large-scale fabrication, bio-based and hybrid material systems, active and adaptive structures, and the relationship between design computation and physical making. I am particularly interested in research that bridges theory and full-scale prototyping, emphasizing material behavior, fabrication logic, and construction intelligence.
