Zheng Gong is a Ph.D. researcher at the University of Manchester and her research project titled 'Risk analysis of low-carbon technological innovation in reducing building life cycle carbon emissions' aims to analyse risks of low-carbon technological innovation during the building lifecycle to build a comprehensive risk management approach for low/zero-carbon buildings. Since innovation risks significantly cause underperformance of low-carbon technologies, the proposed approach will help to reduce risks and improve the performance of low-carbon technological innovation in buildings. 

Zheng received her Master's degree in Management Science and Engineering from Shandong University in 2020. Before that, she graduated from Jilin University in Information Management and Information System.
