ABOUT ME

2025-Present

I am a PhD student supervised by Dr. Yingwei Yan at the Department of Geography, National University of Singapore. My current research focuses on leveraging crowdsourced data to detect and classify road features, with applications in automated vehicles and smart city development. Statement of Purpose

2021-2024

I obtained my Master of Science Degree in Transportation Engineering from Urban Mobility Institute of the College of Transportation at Tongji University. Under the supervision of Professor Wei Huang and Professor Chun Liu, my research focused on high-definition maps, particularly HD map modeling, dynamic information organization and management, and information interaction.

2017-2021

I laid my academic foundations at the College of Engineering of Nanjing Agricultural University, where I obtained my Bachelor Degree of Engineering in Transportation.

📚 My Research

My research enthusiasm lies in applying AI to grounded tasks. My primary goal is to develop methods for efficiently extracting key information from crowdsourced big data to serve urban science. To achieve this goal, I identified three main challenges:

🧗 Challenge 1 Multi-element Extraction

How can valuable information be effectively extracted from crowdsourced SVI to enhance the detection and classification of road features for autonomous vehicles.

🧗 Challenge 2 Multi-element Integration

What machine learning models and data fusion techniques can be developed to integrate diverse data sources, such as SVI and vehicle sensor data, for real-time updates.

🧗Challenge 3 Multi-element Management

How can the proposed methods for accuracy, reliability, and scalability in various driving environments.

Please reach out to collaborate and make the future city more intelligent, sustainable and eco-friendly 💪🏻💪🏽💪🏿💪🦾
