Academic Achievements
- Developing a data science informed and disciplinary theory-driven methodology for system representation, interdisciplinary and inter-scale integration, and systems modeling focusing on digital representation, geovisualization and animation, space-time analysis, micro-level modeling, and 4-dimensional (x, y, z, time) simulation of various environmental and human processes.
Research Experience
- The Complexities of Human-Environment Emergence & Resilience (CHEER) laboratory, now housed at the College of Forestry, Wildlife and Environment at Auburn University, aims to achieve better understanding, envisioning, planning, and sustainability of CHEER via a hybrid approach of artificial intelligence, data science, and spatial/applied statistics.
Background
- Research interests include developing artificial intelligence tools and methods for natural resource management and environmental conservation; developing geospatial and statistical analytics, especially space-time analysis methods and techniques; revealing space-time dynamics & mechanisms of complex human-environment systems, including applications in wildlife habitat, biodiversity, ecosystem services, human health, hazard-disaster analysis, climate change, and urban development; modeling human and/or animal decisions, behaviors, and their consequences on CHEER with a focus on integration of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and agent-based modeling.
Miscellany
- Establishing and maintaining various CHEER research, education, and outreach networks that seek to achieve CHEER sustainability.
