Portrait

Hi, I'm Aiqi.

I'm a fourth-year undergraduate student in Engineering Science (Major Engineering Physics, Minor Artificial Intelligence) at the University of Toronto.

I am passionate about developing engineering tools that reveal hidden patterns in the physical world and advancing our understanding of complex systems through data analysis and modeling.

Research Interest

  • Atmospheric and carbon cycle modeling across diverse spatial and temporal scales
  • Remote sensing and time-series data processing integrated with machine learning–driven analysis
  • Urban environmental systems and their impact on climate and carbon dynamics
  • Experimental physics with a focus on data-driven pattern analysis and modeling

Experience & Past Projects

As an Engineering Science student, I have gained experience in both engineering design and scientific research through coursework, labs, and summer programs.

In the first two years of the program, I focused on building core engineering skills through coursework, design projects, and hackathons. In the summer after my second year, I conducted research at Nanyang Technological University (NTU), gaining international academic and laboratory experience. Entering the Engineering Physics program in third year, I engaged in advanced physics topics and laboratory research. During the summer, I worked as a student researcher in the Atmospheric Physics Group under Prof. Debra Wunch and as a lab technician in the Advanced Undergraduate Laboratory, where I contributed to setting up new experiments while continuing my own research.

Tools I Reach For

Programming: Python, MATLAB, C, C++, SQL, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Assembly, Linux

Hardware & CAD Design: Arduino, Raspberry Pi, Fusion 360, SolidWorks

Photography & Video Editing: Final Cut Pro, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Lightroom

General Interests

I first discovered nature photography as a teenager, and it has remained a lasting passion. Each photo captures a fleeting moment with the creatures I’ve been fortunate to encounter, and I've put together a small gallery for you to explore.
