I build spatial intelligence systems for cities, linking multimodal reasoning, world modeling, multi-agents, and real-world applications.
I am an Assistant Professor at Zhongguancun Academy. My research lies at the intersection of spatial intelligence, agentic intelligence, and urban science.
My work moves beyond passive urban analytics toward spatial agents that can perceive multimodal environments, reason over geospatial context, simulate human behavior, and support decisions in open, dynamic cities.
I received my B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from Tsinghua University in 2016 and 2021, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Yong Li. Before joining ZGC Academy, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Tsinghua University and a researcher at Meituan.
