I am a licensed architect in Massachusetts and a PhD student at Stanford University in Civil and Environmental Engineering. Advised by Michael Lepech, I also collaborate closely with Jie Wang, Jackelyn Hwang, and Kincho Law. My doctoral 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. (Explore my architectural projects in the design section.)

At Stanford University, my research connects building design with urban sociology and Life Cycle Assessment, utilizing a data-driven Multimodal Large Language Model (MLLM) application. I aim to create an LLM-integrated framework, such as an AI agent, that empowers various stakeholders to collaborate via building image generation and integrate community, code, and carbon during critical early phases.
