Hi! I’m currently a second year PhD student in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Northeastern University. I am fortunate to be advised by Prof. Qi Ryan Wang. Previously, I completed my undergrad in Computer Science and Mathematics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and worked with Prof. Jianxi Gao.

My research explores the integration of machine learning with urban science, addressing challenges in human mobility and spatio-temporal dynamics. If you have any questions or interested in my work, feel free to reach out to me at he.haoyu1@northeastern.edu.
