Coming from the background of urban planning, and as a first-year graduate student in MLA & MSI in U-M, I am interested in using big data to ameliorate environmental problems.

I am currently a postgraduate student majoring in landscape architecture at Tongji University. With research experiences of regional landscape ecological planning and green infrastructure planning, I have strong interest in ecosystem services (especially water-related) and water resource management. In my free time, I play my clarinet and do contemporary dance.
