Biography

I am currently a master's student at Peking University with a keen focus on Urban Computing, Computational Social Science, Complexity, and Complex Networks. From September 2022 to September 2023, I had the privilege to serve as a research assistant in the Big Geospatial Data Management Group at the Technical University of Munich, Germany, under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Martin Werner. Presently, I am advancing my research at the Institute of Space and Earth Information Science at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, mentored by Professor Mei-Po Kwan.

Since 2020, I have been working as a part-time research assistant at the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the leadership of Professor Li Yurui, delving into regional complex systems simulation and Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning.

My aspiration is to integrate cutting-edge artificial intelligence algorithms into my research, with a particular interest in deep learning and large language models. My academic vision revolves around constructing a research framework based on the principles of spatiotemporal dynamics, causality, and scale, aiming for a deeper understanding of complex system dynamics.
