About 

Fascinated with computational applications for environmental design education and parametric optimization.

Currently working on the development of an online platform for playing with building physics and learning environmental design which features a variety of interactive visual and audio displays.

Developed a genetic algorithm (GA) based mini-program for multi-zone design optimisation on operational energy demand at the early stage of design, using EnergyPlus as the evaluation engine.
