Research interests
I am a Lecturer in Quantitative Human Geography in the School of Geographical Science. My research focuses on the emerging transformations in population, economy, and space in urban China. This includes modelling the evolving role of the household registration (hukou) system in shaping social disparities, visualizing the changing socio-spatial patterns across multiple scales, and exploring the spatiality of new urban economies by using novel sources of geodata. I strive to conduct research that is grounded in quantitative empirical evidence and informed by a reflexive theoretical framework. By adopting a comparative approach, I aim to use urban China to enrich traditional Western-centric perspectives in urban studies.
