Haiwei Li, Flora

Ph.D. student and Cambridge Trust Scholar at University of Cambridge

Also I am a Visiting scholar at ETH Zürich

I am interested in exploring the complex mechanisms of urban climate and urban heat mitigation.

My general research interest is to combat climate change through engineering analysis and innovative solutions.

My research extends to future urban planning, where I envision designing, retrofitting, and optimizing blue and green infrastructures at micro, neighborhood, and regional scales to foster a more sustainable and climate-resilient future.
