Xiaoshi Wang, Core Researcher

Xiaoshi Wang is a PhD student exploring the potential integration of traditional architectural design and relevant engineering disciplines to improve building energy efficiency and indoor comfort. His research focuses on creating instant and straightforward connections between spatial layout and qualified natural ventilation scenarios with the intent to equip early stage design with quantifiable consideration of indoor environment and sustainability. He’s also interested in creating self-optimization mechanisms for space morphology that seek preferred indoor flow conditions by using learning algorithms. Xiaoshi holds a Master of Design degree with a concentration in Energy and Environments from the Harvard University Graduate School of Design; a Master of Science Advanced Architectural Design degree from Columbia University and a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Tongji University in Shanghai, China.
