Xinxin Yan
I am an architectural designer and researcher with a background in sustainable design and environmental performance. I hold a Bachelor of Architecture from Soochow University and a Master of Environmental Building Design from the University of Pennsylvania. In Fall 2025, I will begin a Ph.D. in Architecture at the University of Florida, focusing on smart cities.
My work centers on climate-responsive architecture, using computational tools such as CFD, GIS, and energy modeling to improve air movement, thermal comfort, and energy efficiency. I’ve led projects on urban ventilation in dense cities, designed indirect evaporative cooling facades for hot-humid climates, and conducted life cycle assessments of institutional buildings.
I am committed to creating livable and sustainable environments through data-driven, climate-conscious design strategies that respond to both local and global challenges.
