Education 

Columbia University, New York, NY, US, Masters, Master of Science in Computational Design Practice (MS.CDP)

This intensive program equips me with cutting-edge techniques and methodologies central to the intersection of computational design and the built environment.

In this specialized course, I delve deeply into generative design, computer vision (CV), machine learning (ML), Python programming and web design by JavaScript. I also cultivated advanced skills in data visualization, understanding how to represent complex data and insights in a visually compelling manner.

My time at GSAPP not only fortified my technical prowess but also broadened my perspective on how computational strategies can revolutionize architectural practices, pushing the boundaries of design and implementation in the built world.

University of Dundee, Dundee, GB, BArch, Bachelor of Architecture (BArch)

During a unique joint program between Wuhan University and the University of Dundee, I had the privilege to study for a year in Dundee, following my four years at Wuhan. This experience provided me with an invaluable international perspective and a deepened understanding of architectural principles from both Eastern and Western contexts.

In Dundee, I further honed my architectural skills, integrating the robust foundational knowledge from Wuhan with innovative Western design approaches. Engaging with a diverse group of professors and peers, I was exposed to new methodologies, technologies, and collaborative projects. This multicultural and interdisciplinary environment greatly enriched my design thinking, making me adept at merging global architectural practices.

This joint program culminated in me earning two degrees, symbolizing my holistic education and the melding of two profound architectural traditions.
