Yangzhe Chen

I am a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Architecture and Built Environment. My research centers on leveraging data-driven approaches to enhance energy flexibility and sector coupling in buildings. Specifically, I investigate thermal energy storage solutions across both design and control phases of building operations, alongside data-driven modeling of demand-side interactions with district heating and cooling networks. I am also interested in integrating semantic models with physical components for fault/redundancy detection in HVAC systems.

Prior to joining KTH, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from the SWJTU-Leeds Joint School (2021) and my Master's degree in Intelligent Building Technology and Management from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (2022).
