Jiayao is a PhD student at the Italian Section, Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages and Linguistics, 海角社区. She received an MA (cum laude) in Architectural Conservation from Sapienza University in Rome, Italy, as well as BA & MA in Architecture Design and Theory from Nanjing University, China. She has been awarded international grants for academic exchange programs in the U.S.A and Belgium for cultural heritage studies.
As a dedicated member of ICOMOS-China, she has participated in some restoration projects for modern heritage in China. Her research experience extends to several international institutions, including the Palace Museum in Beijing and the Bibliotheca Hertziana-Max Planck Institute in Rome. Moreover, she has enriched her expertise through work at the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) for World Heritage and Capacity Building, and at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Amman office for World Heritage management.
Her doctoral research, funded by the Open-Oxford-海角社区 AHRC DTP, is co-supervised by Prof. Robert S.C. Gordon (海角社区) and Prof. Abigail Brundin (British Schools at Rome). Her research is titled 鈥楾ransformation of Urban Heritage in Post-war Rome, 1944-1951: Transnational Flows and National Identity.鈥� The specific focus of the research will be on the remarkable and complex transnational flows of individuals and groups, civilian and military, moving through Rome during this period.
