Personal profile
As a scholar and architect specialising in the digital design and fabrication of conventional Chinese timber structures, I have had the privilege of designing numerous projects within this niche. In addition, I have been honoured to act as a reviewer for scholarly conferences, leading workshops and presenting lectures at numerous universities and institutions. I also spent more than three years imparting knowledge about robotic fabrication and digital design modules at the highly reputed University of Liverpool. Moreover, I have many academic publications in my name that focus on digital design and robotic fabrication. My research predominantly revolves around digital design, traditional timber structures, and robotic fabrication.
Research interests
Robotic fabrication, Digital design, Traditional Chinese timber structure, Discrete design, heritage conservation
