Research and expertise
I am a PhD researcher focusing on Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) and flood risk reduction, using quantitative methods to evaluate how traditional water management wisdom enhances modern flood resilience.
My Research Interests include:
- Nature-Based Solutions (NBS)
- flood resilience
- traditional ecological knowledge
- sustainable urban and
- rural water management
Current research activity
- Quantitative assessment of traditional water management systems in historic Chinese villages to evaluate their effectiveness as Nature-Based Solutions for flood risk reduction under modern climate conditions
Profile
With a deep curiosity about the dynamic relationship between urban environments and human activity, I have dedicated the past six years to studying landscape architecture at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (BSc) and the University of Sheffield (MLA).
My academic journey has strengthened my understanding of spatial design, environmental systems, and the role of landscape in shaping resilient cities. Building on this foundation, I am now eager to advance my expertise by exploring computational and statistical approaches to flood resilience, aiming to monitor and predict environmental change in urban contexts. My goal is to develop a systemic and intelligent design framework that transforms landscapes into adaptive, data-informed systems capable of enhancing urban resilience in the face of climate challenges.
