Advisor: Dr. Shaowen Wang
Biography
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Geography and GIS at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, advised by Dr. Shaowen Wang. I earned my M.S. in Geography from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 2021 and my B.E. in Computer Engineering at the University of Hong Kong in 2018.
My research aims to advance cyberGIS and geospatial data science for solving complex geospatial problems and understanding multi-scale urban dynamics. Specifically, my research work focuses on 1) geospatial data science for understanding urban dynamics; 2) scalable spatial algorithms for solving complex geospatial problems; and 3) democratization of cyberGIS for data-intensive geographic research.
