Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) & UAL - National University of Singapore
I am a Postdoctoral Researcher and Module Coordinator in the Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) at the Future Cities Lab (FCL) Global project working with Prof. Filip Biljecki. I am also part of Prof. Biljecki’s group, the Urban Analytics Lab (UAL) at the National University of Singapore.
My research interests are broadly in the field of remote sensing, urban data science, GeoAI, time-series forecasting, human-building interaction, applied machine learning, and their applications to smart buildings and at the urban scale. My recent work focuses on human-perception at the urban scale, agent-based modeling, energy time-series, and reinforcement learning with human-in-the-loop control.
