I am a researcher in data science, collaborating with companies and the government to address research problems related to spatiotemporal data. My research involves analyzing mobile signaling records, hotel check-in registers, train and airline ticket data, and high-speed rail data with econometrics, time series, machine learning, and deep learning models.
