Mingze Chen

Hello! I am Mingze Chen, a researcher and current Ph.D. student at the Urban Nature Design Research (UNDER) Lab, University of British Columbia (UBC). I am working on using big data and machine learning interdisciplinary technology in urban nature analytics.

I hold a master’s degree of architecture in urban design from The Bartlett Faculty of the Built Environment, University College London (UCL). With two years of practical project experience in international design studios, I was honored with the 2021 ASLA student award. Additionally, I have researched and taught at the University of British Columbia, University College London, Delft University of Technology, Politecnico di Milano, and Shanghai Jiaotong University. Before studying at UCL, I obtained two bachelor’s degrees in landscape architecture and landscape gardening.

Outside of work, I am an avid fan of poems, exhibitions, symphony concerts, traveling, and photography. I published my collection of poems, “Gathering Years,” in 2020.
