Research title: Towards GeoAI-Enhanced Mobility-Based Health Risk Analysis: Embedding Spatial Intelligence into Graph Neural Networks for Dynamic Population Modelling
Research Summary
My research lies at the intersection of Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), spatial statistics, and machine learning, with a particular focus on developing advanced Graph Neural Network (GNN) models for analyzing spatial and dynamic population processes. Drawing on my statistical training, I aim to create interpretable, robust, and scalable methods for understanding how populations move and how diseases spread over space and time.
My current doctoral project focuses on embedding spatial structures, population mobility, and temporal dynamics into neural network architectures to support health risk analysis in urban environments. I work on integrating statistical reasoning with AI-driven models to improve epidemic modeling, risk prediction, and intervention planning.
By combining insights from statistics, epidemiology, and geographical data science, I strive to develop data-driven tools that are not only technically rigorous but also practically useful for public health decision-making.
