Hello there!
Hello there!
About Myself
My name is Sen Wang.
I am an assistant professor in the Department of Geography at The Ohio State University.
As an aviation geographer, I am interested in the spatial dynamics of air transportation systems, human mobility, and travel behavior.
My research aims to bridge the gap between academic research and practical applications in the aviation industry, contributing to a safer, smarter, and sustainable air transportation system.
I am a certified Part 107 remote pilot and enjoy aerial photography in my free time.
Prospective Students
Funded PhD student positions will be available starting in August 2026. Students interested in conducting research in aviation geography, transportation economics, or spatial data science are encouraged to contact me directly to discuss potential opportunities.
