I am currently a smart cities postdoc at CUSP & ViDA, New York University, hosted by Prof. Juliana Freire and Prof. Daniel B. Neill. My interests are mainly on spatial database. I have published full research papers on top venues in database and information systems as the first author, such as SIGMOD, PVLDB, ICDE, SIGIR, WSDM, TKDE, and ACM Computing Surveys.
