I am an associate professor at School of Transportation Engineering, Tongji University, Shanghai, China. Prior to working in Shanghai, I was a research assistant at Department of Urban Studies and Planning of MIT, MA, and a postdoctoral researcher at Future Urban Mobility (FM) IRG of Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART) center, Singapore. I received MIT-Portugal scholarship in 2013 and was nominated as “MIT Technology Review's Innovators Under 35 Asia” in Singapore in 2017. My research interests include shared mobility behavior and management, data fusion and data mining, multi-agent machine learning, etc. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Systems Science and Engineering from Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China and a Master’s degree in Transport Systems from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.
