I am Rongxiang Su, a second-year Ph.D. student in the GeoTrans Laboratory of the Department of Geography, University of California Santa Barbara, advised by Prof. Konstadinos Goulias. In GeoTrans, my research is focused on understanding human mobility patterns and travel behavior using spatio-temporal analytics, statistical approaches, discrete choice models, and machine learning techniques. In addition, I am also working in MOVE lab advised by Prof. Somayeh Dodge to develop contact tracing techniques and study human interactions using GPS traking data.
