About Me
Hello I am Vincent! I am a PhD candidate at McGill University with the Department of Civil Engineering, starting from Jan, 2021. I work with Prof. Lijun Sun on spatiotemporal modeling and machine learning. I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Transportation Engineering from Central South University in 2017 and 2020. My master’s research was about human mobility and complex network.
A Glimpse of My Work
Here are some reading suggestions to some of my papers that may worth your time reading. I won’t call them selected publications as they are not necessarily from flag journals. Nevertheless, you can always check my Google Scholar for a complete list of my publications.
- Enhancing Deep Traffic Forecasting Models with Dynamic Regression: This work addressed the independence and isotropic distribution assumtptions of the residuals of traffic forecasting models.
- Understanding Coupling Dynamics of Public Transportation Networks: The literature review is a good start if you are interested in multiplex network theory and transportation. If you are also interested in using smart card data for trip reconstruction, the methods part might give you some help. You don’t have to read the results part, as they are simply region-specific analysis.
