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 GeoAI, spatial data science, and machine learning. I am interested in developing new methods for spatial-temporal graph learning, with a particular focus on representation learning, adaptive graph learning, and interpretable GeoAI for modelling complex spatial systems.

My current research investigates how different forms of geographic information, including spatial proximity, mobility patterns, transportation networks, and socioeconomic characteristics, can be effectively represented, adaptively learned, and interpreted within graph learning frameworks. By integrating these heterogeneous spatial relationships, I aim to improve the accuracy, robustness, and interpretability of spatial prediction models while providing deeper insights into the underlying spatial processes.

I evaluate these methods across public health and transportation applications, with the broader goal of developing transferable GeoAI approaches for urban forecasting and spatial decision support.
