Wenhao’s experience
Since graduating, Wenhao has started a funded PhD at the National University of Singapore.
“I particularly enjoyed the integrated building design project in this master’s program. This project required us to collaborate with individuals from diverse backgrounds to complete a building design proposal that meets health, well-being, and sustainability criteria. During our studies, we would learn various modelling and simulation software, as well as how to enhance design and optimisation processes through programming techniques. This design project provided us with a valuable platform to understand how to apply the techniques we learned to real design projects, and allowed us to fully express our creativity.
