I am a PhD candidate in Geography at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), supervised by Prof. Mei-Po Kwan and Prof. Zihan Kan. I also serve as a research fellow at the Computational Social Science Laboratory (CSSL@CUHK) and Institute of Space and Earth Information Science (ISEIS).

I am interested in human mobility, travel behavior, and the relationship between urban environments and well-being. My research focuses on:

  1. How urban characteristics influence mobility and public well-being.
  2. The application of spatial data science and machine learning in urban studies.
  3. Advancing methods for spatial analysis and causal inference in human-environment interactions.
