About

I am a PhD student in the Department of Land Surveying and Geospatial Science at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University , under the supervision of Prof. Xintao Liu (Chief Supervisor) and Prof. You Dong (Co-supervisor).

My research focuses on social sensing, human behaviour, urban dynamics from a human-centered perspective. I integrate multi-source big data with neurophysiological observations and GeoAI techniques to explore sustainable urban planning and development pathways that prioritize human well-being in modern cities.
