About Me

Short Bio

I am a faculty member at the School of Computer Science and Technology in Shandong Technology and Business University (SDTBU).

Before joining SDTBU, I worked as an algorithm research engineer at Alibaba Cloud Computing Co. Ltd. I got my PhD from Tongji University in 2021. Before that, I received my bachelor degree from Tongji University majoring in Transportation Engineering in 2016. Furthurmore, I participated in a two-month short-term research program at Tongji-MIT City Science Lab in summer of 2019.

我目前是山东工商学院计算机科学与技术学院的一名专任教师。在加入山东工商学院之前，我曾在阿里云计算有限公司担任算法研究工程师。我于2021年获得同济大学博士学位，此前于2016年毕业于同济大学交通工程专业，获学士学位。此外，我于2019年夏季在Tongji-MIT城市科学实验室参加了为期两个月的研究项目。

Research Interests

My research interests center around urban computing and intelligent transportation systems, with a focus on developing innovative methodologies and applications to address efficiency and sustainability challenges within transportation systems. Specifically, I am passionate about integrating cutting-edge technologies into urban perception, agent-based simulation, and traffic flow modeling in order to drive impactful solutions for today’s complex transportation challenges.

我的研究兴趣主要集中在城市计算与智能交通系统领域，致力于开发创新的方法与应用，以应对交通系统在效率和可持续性方面的挑战。具体而言，我热衷于将前沿技术应用于城市感知、基于智能体的仿真以及交通流建模中，从而为当今复杂的交通问题提供具有实际影响力的解决方案。
