About
Dr. Liang Zheng (Cantonese: Cheng Leung), Ph.D. in Architecture, M. Des., and B. Des., Carbon Emission Manager (Senior), Smart Construction Engineer, Prefabricated Construction Senior Engineer, Smart Fire Protection Engineer, BIM Senior Engineer, is an Assistant Professor (2025~2026) and master’s thesis supervisor (2025~2027) in architecture at the Faculty of Humanities and Arts, Macau University of Science and Technology.
As of August 2026, the H-index in Scopus is 14; H-index in Google Scholar is 16. His academic research centers on the integration of artificial intelligence and architectural design, with particular emphasis on the development of computer vision-based generative design systems, predictive models for urban environmental analysis, and technologies for the assessment of building material performance. Recently, he has extended these methods to the field of high-performance and sustainable building typologies, including large-scale digital infrastructure such as data centers. He has published more than 50 peer-reviewed papers in SCI, SSCI, EI, and other internationally indexed journals and is co-editor of the book City-Sea Symbiosis: Settlement Morphology Types in Zhuhai and Macau (Springer, May 2026). Because of his long-term work and life in Macau, his academic interests have also extended to architectural history, heritage conservation, and decorative arts research.
