Holder of an MSc in Construction Management with Distinction from the University of Liverpool (Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, XJTLU), which I commenced in 2022 and graduated in 2024. Consistently ranked first in all semesters throughout the program, demonstrating sustained academic excellence. During the MSc program, I received multiple awards, including the Department of Civil Engineering HoD Award (2024), Best Taught Module Prize (2024), and Best Dissertation Prize (2024).
Currently pursuing a PhD in Sustainable Built Environments at XJTLU (registered at the University of Liverpool), which I began in 2024, focusing on construction waste management, industrial ecology, decarbonization strategies, and sustainability evaluation. I am supervised by Dr. Jian Li Hao (primary), with co-supervision from Dr. Guobin Gong (XJTLU), Dr. Zhiqin Ni (XJTLU), and Dr. Thomas Fischer (University of Liverpool).
To date, my research has produced 6 SCI journal papers (3 as first author) and 3 conference papers. During my PhD studies, I have received four awards while representing XJTLU, including the Outstanding Presentation Award at the 2nd Jiangsu Graduate Student Academic Forum. My work employs interdisciplinary approaches, including quantitative modeling, life cycle assessment, and policy analysis, to develop practical solutions that reduce environmental impacts in the construction sector.
