Jiawen Han, Ph.D., is a lecturer in the Department of Architecture at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, Suzhou, where she teaches design studio and architectural theory. Jiawen Han holds a Ph.D. in architecture from the University of New South Wales, Sydney. She is the author of the book entitled China's Architecture in a Globalizing World: Between Socialism and the Market. 

Her multicultural experience allows her to see the architecture through multiple lenses, balancing what may seem like irreconcilable values and detecting potential innovations emerging from the new architectures and urban conditions in Asian cities. Her research interests range from new architecture and architects in China to spatial development concerning modernity and the production of modern space.
