I am Ganmin Yin, currently a Ph.D. candidate (2020-2025, expected) majoring in GIScience at Peking University. I am also a research assistant in the Geocomputation Group of the Spatio-Temporal Social Sensing Lab (S3-Lab), supervised by Prof. Zhou Huang and Prof. Yu Liu. Before that, I received my B.S. Degree on GIScience at Peking University in 2020.
My research interests focus on urban analytics with geospatial big data and advanced models, including sustainability issues like transportation and urbanization. My research goal is to introduce state-of-the-art theories and models to better understand the human-environment relationship.
Besides, I am also very interested in Hiking, Traveling, and Reading :).
Note: I am looking for a postdoc position starting in 2025, fall. Feel free to contact me!
