Biography

I was a postdoctoral associate in Human Mobility and Networks (HuMNet) Lab at the Department of City and Regional Planning, UC Berkeley, supervised by Prof. Marta C. Gonzalez. Prior to joining Berkeley, I was a postdoctoral associate at Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, MIT from Sep. 2015 to Oct. 2018 in Marta’s group, a guest postdoctoral fellow in the Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory from Dec. 2017 to Oct. 2018. I got the Ph.D. (supervised by Prof. Yuncai Liu) in Department of Automation at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2015. I hold M.S. (supervised by Prof. Hui Chen) and B.S degrees in Shandong University.

My research is on human mobility and urban computing, with particular emphasis placed on the use of massive trajectory data in Smart City, Transportation, Energy, and Environment, from interdisciplinary perspective. My work has been published in Nature Energy, Science Advances, J. Roy. Soc. Interface, and IJCAI, among others.
