معرفی
Jiong Wang is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Urban and Regional Planning and Geo-Information Management, University of Amsterdam. His research focuses on urban morphology, land surface temperature dynamics, and geospatial solutions for inclusive urban development. He contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through work on slum mapping, thermal inequality, and citizen science.
Key research interests include urban form analysis using satellite imagery, machine learning applications in urban studies, and bridging geospatial data gaps in low-resource settings. His work integrates environmental science with urban planning to address climate resilience and social equity.
Notable projects include the IDEAtlas User Portal for inclusive urban data solutions and low-cost sensor networks for thermal monitoring in African slums. He collaborates globally on initiatives like EO+ Morphometrics and deprivation perception modeling through CNNs.
Publications span over 45 peer-reviewed articles with a focus on urban heat islands, spatial data privacy (e.g., obfuscation techniques), and large-scale urban morphology analysis. His datasets, such as 'Deprivation pockets through the lens of convolutional neural networks,' are publicly accessible via University of Amsterdam repositories.
Current work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches, combining AI with geospatial tools to improve urban sustainability and equitable resource allocation in rapidly developing cities.
