Biography
Hi! I am Yikang Wang (王亦康), a second-year PhD student at the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA), UCL, supervised by Dr Chen Zhong and Prof Michael Batty. Prior to this, I obtained a BEng in GIS from Wuhan University with honour, followed by an MSc in Computational Science at Imperial College London.
I am working on the analysis of human mobility in the UK in realTRIPS (Redefining Variability: EvALuating Land Use and TRansport Impacts on Urban Mobility PatternS) project.
