At Chongqing University, I research how acoustic, lighting, and spatial conditions shape comfort in underground metro commercial passages. I measured conditions across distinct space types and linked them to occupant questionnaires to identify space-specific comfort drivers.

My doctoral work also combined field measurements with controlled laboratory experiments, testing sound and lighting interventions. The findings informed evidence-based environmental design guidelines, and my research was published in the Journal of Building Engineering.

Since 2016, I’ve evaluated room acoustics and noise control for spaces including auditoria, classrooms, a mosque, private residences, and transit-oriented development areas. As a Field Noise Engineer on project-based work, I carried out custom measurements for PT INKA, LRT Palembang, and MRT Jakarta.

I’ve also worked as a Graduate Intern at LITAC Consultant, handling noise control for hotel guest room areas and acoustic and noise-control treatment for a cinema hall. I’m seeking an acoustic, sustainability, or wellbeing consultant role connecting measured building performance to occupant comfort and supporting GREENSHIP, EDGE, LEED, and WELL certification.
