ABOUT ME

My primary research interests lie in spatial systems, intelligent systems, and mobile/ubiquitous computing. I am dedicated to designing and implementing real-world systems that profoundly impact society and humanity. By leveraging advanced AI solutions, edge computing, and cutting-edge technologies, I aim to solve critical challenges in healthcare, indoor/outdoor localization for emergency services and transportation, disaster management and assessment, and energy, among other areas. My vision is to promote sustainability and eco-friendly practices, driving digital transformation and urban planning to create smart cities and an intelligent society for the betterment of humanity.
