One-year visiting to UAL is beginning

A new chapter of my academic journey has begun. Funded by the China Scholarship Council (CSC), I started a one-year research visit at the Urban Analytics Lab (UAL), Department of Architecture, College of Design and Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS).

UAL was established in 2019 by Dr Filip Biljecki, Assistant Professor at the NUS College of Design and Engineering and the NUS Business School. The lab works on making sense of big geospatial data for urban applications, with a particular focus on emerging urban datasets such as street-level imagery, sensor data, 3D city models and crowdsourced (VGI) data, combined with state-of-the-art artificial intelligence. More about the lab’s research agenda can be found on the UAL website.

During my visit, I will focus on using street-level imagery to perceive the vertical dimension of cities, such as urban terrain, road slopes and building relief.
