Bio
I'm a second-year Ph.D. student inUrban Design & Planning Interdisciplinary Ph.D. Programat theUniversity of Washington. Prior to that, I worked in theUrban Analytics Labat theNational University of Singapore, where I received my M.U.P. degree in Urban Analytics.
My research integrates advanced artifial intelligence and machine learning techniques to develop data-driven solutions for urban systems. I am fortunate to be advised byDr. Don MacKenzie(UW), andDr. Filip Biljecki(NUS).
I enjoy hiking, traveling, photography and proud of being a fan of aviation and transit. I am always eager to explore new places and cultures.
