Background

Huang Yue, born in April 1998, is currently a second-year Ph.D. candidate in Architecture and Building Structures at Ural Federal University, Russia. Her primary research focuses on the integration of solar energy and building heating systems, with particular emphasis on the application and performance optimization of phase change materials (PCM) in hollow bricks.She has achieved multiple research outcomes, having published over 10 papers indexed in SCI/EI databases, including two first-author articles in journals such as Buildings (Impact Factor: 3.1) and E3S Web of Conferences. As a core team member, she has contributed to the development of four invention and utility model patents—one of which lists her as the first inventor—covering technologies such as heat-storage solar chimneys and collector systems. She also holds two software copyrights.Her research focuses on addressing key challenges in temporal matching and thermal efficiency of hollow bricks integrated with PCM for heating applications. By combining experimental testing and numerical simulations, she aims to systematically optimize the thermal performance and practical effectiveness of such materials in buildings located in cold regions.
