About me

I’m a visiting postdoctoral research fellow at the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, Technical University of Denmark (2024-). I’m affiliated with Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden (2021-). I work at the intersection of data science and human mobility. My research vision is the data-driven understanding of human mobility to empower the environmentally and socially sustainable transformation of global cities. The vision highlights using big and continuous data from newly emerged sources, such as mobile phones. My research interests include urban mobility, social segregation, and sustainable transport.

In my master thesis at Tsinghua University, China (2013-2016), I studied driver distractions during driving on road safety and how to detect them in practice by combining gaze and behavioural data.

I’m an active learner of data techniques especially data visualisation, scalable data science, and spatial analytics.
