I am a Ph.D. Student and Graduate Research Assistant at the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, College of Engineering, Villanova University, PA, USA. I am the member of the Villanova Human Mobility Data Lab (NovaMobility) supervised by Dr. Chenfeng Xiong. I am passionate about everything related to transportation and various advanced applications that are technology-oriented. I care about cutting-edge technological applications in transportation, such as map-matching for human travel trajectories and lane detection in autonomous driving. I also focus on the environmental impact of transportation, such as the effect of vehicle-generated air pollutants on road areas. Currently, I am mainly involved in the generation and processing of human mobility data, with a primary focus on the application of map-matching technology in human mobility data. I am passionate about applying the latest technologies, such as machine learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, and various software and tools, to address transportation issues. If you are interested in my research, Feel free to contact me for research discussion and possible collaboration!
