Personal profile

I am currently pursuing a Ph.D. in the Department of Architecture at the University of Liverpool, based offsite at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University.

I graduated with a Masters of Architecture (M.Arch) Degree (RIBA, ARB Part II) at Scott Sutherland School of Architecture & Built Environment, Robert Gordon University (RGU). I was a former Research Assistant and Visiting Researcher of RGU.

I am researching various topics: computational design methods, machine learning applications on 3D generative system, robotics fabrication, digitalisation on building permits, and other advanced technology applications for architecture.

I had presented and published:

‘Navigating Building Standards and Building Warrant Processes in Scotland Building Information Repositories’ at the EC3 2024 Conference;

'Timber Joints Analysis and Design Using Shape and Graph Grammar-Based Machine Learning Approach' at the eCAADe 2023 Conference.
