xuzzhan

One who has been on the path of pursuing self-actualization.

Hi, I am xuzzhan. I am an PhD student at Tongji University, under the guidance of Assoc. Prof. Shen Yao (Director of TJ-CUSP). This website is primarily used to share my research work and study notes.

In my previous work, my research primarily focused on Network Resilience and Spatio-Temporal Modelling, integrating methods from machine learning and statistics. As a researcher with a background in urban planning, I am dedicated to uncovering the underlying patterns within spatio-temporal big data and applying them to inform urban development policies.

If you are interested in my experience, feel free to contact me via email at xuzzhan@tongji.edu.cn.
