I‘m a environmental researcher by training and a data practitioner by heart, always seeking ways to make positive social impacts.

Before joining Autodesk, I studied Civil and Environmental Engineering at MIT, with a focus on sustainable pavement designs and building energy modeling. I used to work closely with concrete industry partners to help designing and improving the carbon footprint of concrete-made infrastructure. I'm also very interested in social entrepreneurship, looking for innovative solutions to society's most challenging problems. I used to be a co-founder of a Chinese social enterprise which seeks to connect NPOs/NGOs in China with low-cost technology and solutions.

Skills:
- Engineering: Data science, Modeling, Simulation
- Technology: Python, Spark, Tableau, Autodesk products (AutoCAD, Revit)
- Impact: Impact assessment(LCA), Sustainability consultancy
- Languages: English, Mandarin

I hope I would be able to leverage my knowledge and skills to projects and people across the world.
