Dr. Z. (Zhikai) Peng
Profiel
Zhikai Peng's research at TU Delft focuses on urban climate and outdoor thermal comfort. His approach combines numerical simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with on-site fixed, walking, and cycling measurements, complemented by psychophysiological surveys (wearables, questionnaires and interview). Currently, he is a member of the Urban Comfort Lab, where he is involved in projects related to acoustics and climate, funded by the municipality of Haarlemmermeer.
Onderzoeksinteresses
Zhikai Peng's research interests include evaluating user comfort, spatial behaviours, and experiences in different sun and wind conditions in public spaces. He collaborates with experts from mechanical engineering, geography, and psychology.
Academische achtergrond
Zhikai Peng has a diverse educational background in urban design and engineering. He holds a B.Eng degree in architectural conservation engineering and an M.Arch degree from Tongji University in China, as well as a Dipl.-Ing. degree from TU Wien in Austria. He furthered his studies by earning a Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge in the UK, specialising in urban climate and thermal-adaptive solutions within the European context.
