I am currently a graduate student at TreesLab led by Prof. Ran Tu (涂然) in school of transportation, Southeast University (SEU).

I have a broad interest in transportation issues and a belief that data and smart technologies could help us better solve these problems. At the same time, observations of my surroundings got me interested in issues of efficiency, equity and sustainability. I love all interesting research that addresses real problems, whether economic, policy, or technical, in a solid and innovative way.

My long-term goal is to help reshape cities to achieve efficiency, equity and sustainability by transportation planning and management.
