I am Rongxiang Su, a third-year Ph.D. student at the Department of Geography, University of California Santa Barbara, advised by Dr. Konstadinos Goulias and Dr. Somayeh Dodge. My research is focused on understanding human collective mobility patterns and travel behavior using spatio-temporal analytics, statistical models, and machine learning techniques. I am also interested in advancing time geographic-based approaches to trace human contacts and investigating human interaction patterns in space and time using big GPS tracking data. |
