Wei Luo

Wei Luo is Assistant Professor in Geography at the National University of Singapore with a joint appointment at the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health. He founded the GeoSpatialX Lab and researches geo-social visual analytics—integrating spatial analysis, social networks, and machine learning to study complex systems.

His work has two primary applications: 1) Infectious disease transmission modeling (COVID-19, dengue, influenza) using geospatial and network approaches, and 2) International trade/supply chain analysis through firm and national networks. Luo received recognition as Geospatial World's 50 Rising Stars (2023) and multiple paper awards for innovations in geovisual analytics.

He teaches Spatial Programming, GIS Design, and Big Spatial Data Analytics. Current research compares dengue transmission patterns pre/during COVID-19 across Southeast Asia and develops AI frameworks for map analysis.
