Project Description

This project will utilize the language understanding and reasoning capabilities of LLMs for analysing human mobility data, especially during extreme weather conditions such as hurricanes. Understanding human mobility is very important since it can help with proactive intervention strategies such as emergency evacuation and resource allocation.

Research Tasks: literature review, data analysis, experiments with LLMs

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: Python is required

Mentoring Philosophy

My mentoring goal is to encourage every student to learn something. Based on my previous mentoring experiences, I think all students are talented and my role as a teacher is to guide them to knock on the correct door. To this end, my mentoring philosophy concentrates on encouraging students to ask questions. I treat all students with respect and maintain academic fairness. In addition, I strive to create a friendly learning environment and make students feel comfortable and supported. I think students can improve their performance after they know what they do not know, and a very effective way is by asking questions, so I usually encourage students to ask questions.
