Overview
I am a sustainability scientist, researching at the interface of environmental management, environmental engineering, and sustainability science. My current research focuses on assessing the environmental sustainability status of our built environment and the technological solutions for sustainable transitions, particularly for water systems, waste systems, and industrial systems. I received my BEng (Chemical & Environmental Engineering) and MPhil from HKUST, and PhD from UQ.
