Qualifications
My interest in the construction drives me to pursue a Bachelor of Engineering with major of Engineering Management in China. I went to the University of Canterbury in master level study to further my studies in construction management. Inspired by Dr. Brian Guo's enthusiasm and expertise in construction management, I am currently pursuing my PhD research in construction safety at the University of Canterbury.
My current research interest is in virtual reality (VR)-based situation awareness (SA) for construction safety. The overall goal of the PhD project is to design a digital technology enabled situation-aware construction worksite, based on a domain-specific SA framework, to improve SA at both individual and team levels, and promote safety behaviours.
I enjoy playing Soccer and playing Rubik's Cube in my daily life.
