I'm passionate about bridging computer science and GIScience with the built environment. My research explores how emerging technologies can shape smarter, more comfortable cities.
Hereβs what drives me:
- Urban Intelligence: Harnessing IoT & AI for city innovation
- Urban Data: Analyzing multi-source urban data for real-world impact
- Urban Comfort: Centering human experience in urban design
- Architectural Systems: Rethinking buildings for sustainability & intelligence
I am also actively exploring cutting-edge computational methods to advance urban science:
- Foundation Models: Leveraging large language and vision models for geospatial reasoning
- World Models: Learning dynamic representations of urban systems for predictive understanding
- Reinforcement Learning: Enabling adaptive and optimized urban decision-making
- Spatiotemporal Modeling: Capturing complex geographic patterns across scales and time
- Python β my go-to for data analysis and spatial computing
- QGIS β for mapping, spatial analysis, and beautiful geovisualizations
-
thermal-affordance:
Exploring how urban environments support (or hinder) thermal comfort. -
streetscape-perception-survey:
A simple and powerful platform for conducting streetscape perception surveys with image-based questions. -
urbancode:
Tools and frameworks for computational urban analysis.
- Music lover (always up for recommendations!)
- Basketball player & outdoor enthusiast (bike & run)
- Board game strategist β big fan of Go (the game, not the language π)
