Yingjing Huang

PhD @ Peking University

Hey, I am Yingjing Huang (黄颖菁). 👋

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Cartograpghy and Geographic Information Science at Peking University, China, jointly supervised by Prof. Lun Wu (邬伦), Prof. Yu Liu (刘瑜), and Prof. Fan Zhang (张帆). I spent one year as a visiting Ph.D. student at the MIT Senseable City Lab for one year, jointly supervised by Prof. Carlo Ratti, Dr. Fábio Duarte, and Dr. Simone Mora. I hold a bachelor’s and master’s degree from Wuhan University, China, where I was advised by Prof. Teng Fei (费腾).

My research lies at the intersection of GIScience and computer vision, focusing on urban visual AI and its applications in urban planning.

I expect to complete my Ph.D. in June 2025 and am actively seeking faculty or postdoctoral opportunities.
