Profile
I am a PhD student in Human Geography funded by the China Scholarship Council (CSC), with primary research interests in Emotional and Urban Geography. My doctoral project focuses on exploring how vegetation (green) exposure influences human emotions in real time, using eye-tracking, GeoAI, and Remote Sensing pipelines. More broadly, my research aims to examine the practical applications of emerging Earth observation technologies at human scales to enhance everyday well-being. BE. Remote Sensing (JSNU, CN, 2023); MSc. Geographical Information Science (UoL, UK, 2025)
