I am a Postdoctoral Associate in the Building Technology Program at the Department of Architecture, MIT. Before MIT, I obtained my PhD in the built environment at the National University of Singapore, MS in advanced infrastructure system at Carnegie Mellon University, and BS in energy systems at Zhejiang University.

My research focuses on improving the energy efficiency and sustainability of building energy systems, using digital twins that integrate physics-informed models and real-world data. In the era of AI and energy transition, my work is guided by two central research questions: how can emerging computational methods accelerate the transition to zero-carbon cities, and how can we develop more sustainable AI infrastructure as part of this transition.

Over the years, I’ve built long-term collaborations with outstanding colleagues across leading institutions worldwide, including MIT, Cambridge, LBNL, Tsinghua, NUS, etc. My research places strong emphasis on practical impact, and I work closely with industry partners such as Tencent, Trane Technologies, Schneider Electric, Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, and Kajima Technical Research Institute.

Outside of sustainable and intelligent cities, I am an enthusiast for basketball and wild nature. I explore the earth by photography, mountaineering, and scuba diving.
