Keynote Speakers

ZHAO Chao 

Professor and Vice President, Academy of Arts & Design, Tsinghua University

Professor ZHAO focuses on multi-disciplinary, multi-cultural design research and innovative practice, aiming to achieve the humanistic care and sustainability through combining culture, technology, aesthetics, industry elements. In recent years he has been contributing to health care product and service design, user experience research, humanistic design innovation and other related domains.

Holly W. Samuelson

Associate Professor of Architecture, Harvard Graduate School of Design

Professor Samuelson’s teaching and research focus on issues of building design that impact human and environmental health. Her current projects harness advanced building simulation to investigate issues of energy efficiency, heat vulnerability, indoor environmental quality, moisture, and mold. Prior to joining Harvard, she practiced full-time as an architect and sustainable design consultant, and she prioritizes forging links between academia and the building industry.

HUA Ying 

Associate Professor, College of Human Ecology, Cornell University

Academic Director of Cornell China Center

HUA Ying came from a background of architecture, building science and behavioral science. She has been conducting research on methodology for post-occupancy evaluation (POE); impact of a variety of workplace concepts and strategies on behavioral and organizational outcomes; and the interaction between occupants and building systems and resulted influence on building performance. It is her goal to inform the design, delivery, operation, management and re-engineering of built environments and building sector policy-making to enhance the quality of built environments, support health and performance of their occupants, and facilitate the delivery of business goals; and to mitigate the building sector's impact on global climate change.

Stacy Benjamin

Clinical Professor，Segal Design Institute, Northwestern University

Director of Segal Design Certificate Program

Stacy Benjamin is an expert in engineering design process, innovation strategies, and project management, resulting from 10 years of industry experience at IDEO and independent innovation consulting. Benjamin strongly believes in learning-by-doing, and she works to structure class project experiences as close to industry experiences as possible. She encourages students to think critically throughout the design process. Benjamin has also been building a network of Segal Affiliates, specialists in industry from a range of companies in the Chicagoland area. The affiliates interact with students through design reviews, guest lectures, project support, and more. This gives students another window on how engineering is applied in the real world and a chance to begin building their own networks.
