About
Ph.D. student in Geography at Penn State, focusing on autonomous GIS, spatial reasoning, and human mobility analytics.
I am a Ph.D. student in the Department of Geography at The Pennsylvania State University, advised by Prof. Zhenlong Li in the Geoinformation and Big Data Research Laboratory (GIBD).
Before joining Penn State, I earned an M.Sc. in Cartography and Geographic Information System and a B.Eng. in Remote Sensing Science and Technology, both from Wuhan University. My master's research was supervised by Prof. Peng Yue.
During my master's studies, I developed strong expertise in WebGIS and geocomputing, integrating parallel and distributed computing to accelerate large-scale spatial analysis. I have also been actively involved in the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) community, implementing and extending OGC-compliant geospatial standards and services.
Currently, my research focuses on autonomous GIS, spatial reasoning, and human mobility analytics.
