Personal profile
Likai WANG (王力凯) received his Ph.D. in Architecture from School of Architecture and Urban Planning, Nanjing University. His research and teaching primarily focus on the application of computational design to architectural design exploration, synthesis, and ideation. He is also the developer of EvoMass, a Rhino-Grasshopper plugin currently with over ten thousand downloads (food4rhino.com/node/2974).Prior to joining XJTLU, he was a postdoctoral fellow at National University of Singapore. At NUS, Likai was leading a research project applying evolutionary optimization to Singapore residential precinct designs and was a teaching member in the module of AI for the Design of Built Environment.
