Ever wanted to research mobility patterns but no idea where to start looking for data? Qingqing Chen, Matthew Zook and I are releasing a dataset originally based on geotagged social media posts by 2 mln users across the US, containing 1.2 bln data points sent between 2012-2019.

Job alert! I am seeking a fully-funded PhD student to begin in Fall 2025, with a focus on transportation and spatial data science You can know more about me and the EcoTran Lab at Auburn here: luyuliu.github.io #phd #GIScience #datascience #transportation #urbanplanning

Over the holidays, I shared my thoughts on London's new mobility master plan. For a city that will apparently double in size over the next 50 years, I guess somebody forgot to inform the city's own transportation department 🤷 lfpress.com/news/local-new…

Excited to share our new paper in the Journal of Transport Geography! In this paper, we examined the disparities in spatial accessibility to emergency cyclone shelters in Bangladesh. Full paper link: doi.org/10.1016/j.jtra…
