Prior to this, I got my PhD degree in Urban Planning and Design from The University of Hong Kong (HKU) in 2025. I also obtained my MPhil degree in Architecture and Urban Studies at the University of Cambridge in 2021, and bachelor's degree in Urban Planning from Sun Yat-sen University (SYSU), China in 2020.
I am a member ofUrban Mobility Science Lab and Institute of Spatial Data Science at University of Leeds. I also held a visiting researcher position at the Institute of Transportation Studies, Luskin School of Public Affairs at University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2025.
My research mainly focuses on how urban infrastructure (e.g., metro system, greenway) is provided and its impacts on cities. Leveraging rigorous research design (e.g., quasi-experiment approach), I provide evidence-based implications for transport planning and policymaking. My ongoing projects investigate the impacts of broader transport interventions (e.g., transit-oriented development and bike lane improvement) and transport policy (e.g., work from home adoption).
I have co-authored over 10 academic papers. My peer-reviewed publications are featured in urban studies, transportation, and geography journals, including Urban Studies, Landscape and Urban Planning,Land Use Policy, Transportation Research Part D, Environment and Planning B, and Health & Place.
