Research interests

  • GIScience

    Developing and applying framework and methods of GIScience (i.e., urban modelling, remote sensing, and spatial analysis) and spatiotemporal big data analytics (e.g., geospatial artificial intelligence, geoinformatics, and big data mining) to understand computational social science and human-environment interactions in the domain of digital health geography, human settlement, human mobility and migration, social vulnerability and inequality, human responses to climate change.

Research impacts

Since Dr Wang's PhD conferral in 2018, she has published +50 journal articles (as the leading and corresponding author in 35), four book chapters, and one media outlet. She has been working on four Australian Research Council projects and international projects with collaborators from +20 universities in the USA, UK, Canada, China, Japan, UK, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Qatar.
