Prior to pursuing a PhD, I obtained my MPhil degree in Architecture and Urban Studies at the University of Cambridge (2020 - 2021). I hold a bachelor's degree in Urban Planning from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), Mainland China (2015 - 2020).
My research mainly focuses on how urban infrastructure (e.g., metro system, greenway) is provided and its impacts in Asian countries. Leveraging rigorous research design (e.g., quasi-experiment approach), I provide evidence-based implications for transport planning policymaking. My ongoing projects investigate the impacts of broader transport interventions (e.g., transit-oriented development and bike lane improvement) and transport policy (e.g., work from home adoption).
I have co-authored over 10 academic papers. My peer-reviewed publications are featured in urban studies, transportation, and geography journals, including Urban Studies, Landscape and Urban Planning,Land Use Policy, Transportation Research Part D, and Health & Place.
