About

I got a Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Planning from the University of Florida, an MS in Geography from Peking University, and a B.Agric. from BJFU.

My research centers on spatial science and urban planning, with broad interests in the built environment (facility and infrastructure planning), as well as in hazard management, resilience, human mobility, and transportation systems.

My research methods include spatial analysis, big data analytics, spatial statistics, remote sensing, and data mining. I am proficient in GIS software, Python, and R. I also have training in 3D geospatial techniques integrated with VR, qualitative methods and community-based approaches, and urban and landscape design.

Beyond research, I have participated in practical planning and tool‐development projects in environmental and transportation fields, collaborating with government agencies in both the U.S. and China.

I consider myself as a spatial scientist and urban planner.
