Dr. Rui Zhu

My research interest lies in Urban Informatics, including three interconnected fields, i.e., Solar Cities, Urban Environment, and Urban Mobility. During the past few years, I have refined and further enriched the concept of Solar Cities and comprehensively developed models to address scientific challenges in the estimation of spatiotemporal solar photovoltaic (PV) potential on 3D urban surfaces, spatial optimization of PV installation constraint by the expected socio-economic and environmental impacts, and PV penetration for adaptively and efficiently powering various urban sectors to dynamically balance the heterogeneous relationships between supply and demand over time and space.
