I am a licensed architect in Massachusetts and a PhD student at Stanford University in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Advised by Prof. Michael Lepech, I also collaborate closely with Prof. Jie Wang, Prof. Jackelyn Hwang, and Prof. Kincho Law. My research is supported by the Stanford Interdisciplinary Graduate Fellowship (SIGF) and the RAISE Doctoral Fellowship.

I worked for eight years in the architecture industry, specializing in complex facades and building systems for high-rise buildings after obtaining a Master of Architecture I from Harvard Graduate School of Design. This hands-on experience inspired me to tackle the industry's critical challenge of high embodied carbon. You can explore my architectural projects in the design section.

At Stanford University, my research connects building design with urban sociology and Life Cycle Assessment through data-driven Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). I am developing an LLM-integrated framework that empowers diverse stakeholders to collaborate on building image generation, integrating community, code, and carbon during the critical early design phases.
