Profile

I obtained a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Beijing Jiaotong University in China, 2024. Now, I work with Professor Ed Manley's research group, located between the School of Geography and Leeds Institute for Data Analytics (LIDA). The urban navigation project I am currently involved in aims to make use of large-scale real-world trajectory data in combination with machine learning and the theory of spatial cognition, to derive theoretically and scientifically robust models of movement. 

Research interests
