Ph.D,  Professor

To create a healthy, comfortable and productive sleeping and working environment, Professor Lan carried out studies focusing on the important and fundamental problems and obtained internationally advanced achievements on this topic. The research was supported by three NSFC projects and three other projects, including the first NSFC project on sleeping thermal environment in China. She has published 53 papers, including one ESI top cited paper, and applied successfully two patents and two software copyright. She is the vice leader of sleeping environment group in Chinese Society for Environmental Sciences. She received several academic awards including the Outstanding Young Researcher of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2012 and 2017, Professor Xia’s award, and Shanghai scientific and technological progress awards.
