Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Interests:  
I am a geo-spatial data scientist and transportation geographer. My research goals are to promote sustainable and resilient mobility from a social equity perspective. Empirically, my interests are urban transport geography, primarily in public transport and micro-mobility. The core of my research questions is to mitigate and overcome car dependency in cities and to promote sustainability, accessibility, and social equity. Methodologically, I use GIScience, urban data technologies, and space-time analytics from a data-driven perspective. I use high-resolution spatial data and computational techniques to address my empirical research questions. Following this schema, my research to-date advances the understanding of public transit system and its interaction with new technologies, new transport services, and new social and public health events. I have also developed and applied multiple new methods based on high-resolution spatial data; the methods measure the performance of transit systems with higher fidelity and emphasize more on people’s lived experience in the systems.
