- Digital twin, big data application
-
Guanjing Lin joined Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School as an Associate Professor in December 2022. She worked in Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, United States from March 2013 to 2022. As the project PI, Co-PI or technical lead, she has completed 14 research projects funded by U. S. Department of Energy. She developed a performance evaluation framework for building fault detection and diagnosis algorithms; curate, validate, and publish the world’s largest set of labeled time-series data representing commercial HVAC systems operating in faulted and fault-free states; and developed corrective logic for the most common and most readily addressable controls problems. Her research has got four software copyright certificates and was also licensed to private companies.
