Research Interests：

Current research focuses on (1) the role of green spaces in enhancing human health and well-being, (2) the physio-psychological benefits of restorative and healing environments, and (3) the microclimatic and health impacts of integrating nature into urban design. These areas bridge environmental design, public health, and urban sustainability, inspiring innovative solutions for healthier, greener communities.

Teaching：

-Planning Principles and Methods of Landscape Plants

-Landscape Plants and Application
