About Me

I am a spatial data scientist and interdisciplinary researcher focused on turning complex environmental and urban datasets into actionable insights. My expertise includes geospatial analytics, spatial-statistical modeling with experience integrating multimodal data such as satellite imagery, GPS trajectories, survey results, and user-generated text. I have led 7 funded projects and published 20+ peer-reviewed articles, applying LLMs, predictive modeling, and geospatial intelligence to advance urban sustainability, public health, and environmental equity. By combining urban planning knowledge with data science, I develop innovative, evidence-based solutions that inform policy and drive real-world impact.
