Biography
I was born and grew up in China. I received my B.A. in geography from
Peking University, China, a master in GIS and remote sensing application
from the Institute of Remote Sensing Application, Chinese Academic of
Science. I got my Ph.D. in Geography from the joint doctoral program of
San Diego State University and University of California at Santa B.A.rB.A.ra
in 2001. I had worked in ESRI as a GIS
product specialist for one year before I came to Queen's University in
2002.
Teaching Interests
Since arriving at Queens, I have developed a suite of GIS courses at
the undergraduate and graduate levels. Please visit the departmental website
or my website (http://gis.geog.queensu.ca)
for more detailed information. Recent courses that I have instructed include:
Undergraduate
GPHY249* - Introduction to Cartography and Thematic mapping
GPHY349* - Principles of Geographic Information Science
GISC 301* - Environmental Modeling
Graduate
GPHY 855* - Spatial Analysis
GPHY 849* - Seminar in GIS
Research
My research areas focus on the understanding and modeling of interactions
between human activities and the physical environment by using GIS and
remote sensing techniques and spatial modeling approaches from local to
regional scales. My current research interests include:
- Error modeling and accuracy analysis in remote sensing.
- Spatial-temporal disease spread modeling and simulation.
- Modeling social, economic, environmental, health and climate impacts
of urbanization.
- Land use/cover change detection and modeling.
- Urban micro-climate and air quality mapping using remotely sensed
data and GIS.
- Spatial point pattern analysis and geostatistics.
