Jindong Han

I received my Ph.D. degree from the Academy of Interdisciplinary Studies, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), advised by Prof. Hao Liu and Prof. Hui Xiong. My general research areas include data science and artificial intelligence, with a particular focus on spatio-temporal data mining, urban intelligence, and AI for science. The goal of my research is to build strong spatio-temporal intelligence systems for modeling the ever-changing world, solving challenging societal and scientific problems.
