Yifei Yu was born and raised in Nanchang, China. He studied Civil Engineering in an exchange programme between Nanchang Institute of Technology and Saxion University of Applied Sciences. In 2017, he received his bachelor’s degree. Then, he continued to pursue a Master’s degree in Construction Management and Engineering, specialised in digital technology design at the University of Twente.
After he received his Master’s degree in 2019, he worked as a junior researcher at the Department of Industrial Engineering and Business Information Systems (IEBIS) to prepare his own PhD proposal supported by Twente Graduate School Bridging Grant. Later in 2020, he won the Signature PhD Grant provided by the faculty of Behavioural, Management, and Social Sciences at the University of Twente. Thanks to this grant, he worked as a PhD candidate in the field of Circular Construction Ecosystems at the IEBIS department.
During his PhD career, he was involved in several projects to acquire external research funding. One of the most prestigious projects was Industrial Symbiosis to Hubs for Circularity (IS2H4C) granted by the European Union in 2024. Now, he continues his academic career at the University of Twente as an assistant professor engaged in the IS2H4C project.
