Zhewei Liu

Biography

Zhewei LIU (刘哲维) got his PhD degree in GIS from the Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests mainly include GeoAI, spatial big data analytics, human mobility, and a broader application of artificial intelligence in urban resilience, environmental justice and geography. Besides research, he is enthusiastic about reading and working out. He values humblness, compassion, and intellectual honesty. He also holds the opinion that few things can not be attained by combining konwledge and self-discipline.
