Jie Feng

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 have published 40+ papers at venues including KDD, ICLR, ICCV, and ACL, with 6000+ citations and recognition from UbiComp, INFORMS, Stanford/Elsevier Top 2% Scientists, Tsinghua Shuimu Scholar, and ACM SIGSPATIAL China.

I received my B.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Department of Electronic Engineering, Tsinghua University in 2016 and 2021, respectively, under the supervision of Prof. Yong Li. Before joining ZGCA, I was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Tsinghua University and a researcher at Meituan.
