Zheng Xiaona is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Atmospheric Sciences at Sun Yat-sen University. She received her master’s degree from South China Agricultural University.
Her research focuses on the effects of building layouts and vertical greenery systems on urban wind and thermal environments and energy exchanges. She has systematically conducted scaled outdoor experiments in subtropical and temperate climates and developed coupled CFD simulations incorporating turbulence, radiation, and evapotranspiration. Combining experiments and simulations, she has characterized spatiotemporal variations in urban microclimates and investigated the cooling mechanisms of vertical greenery systems, providing scientific support for urban ventilation and outdoor thermal comfort design.
Her future research will explore the coupled effects of building layouts and vertical greenery systems on urban microclimate and building energy consumption to support low-carbon urban development.
