Dr. Fengrui Jing received his PhD in GIScience from Sun Yat-sen University in 2021. He also holds a master’s degree in Physical Geography and two undergraduate degrees in Social Work and Psychology. His research focuses on using massive social media data to map neighborhood disorder and fear of crime, and to examine the causal relationship between micro built environment and fear of crime.
Dr. Jing will work with Dr. Zhenlong Li and other team members in GIBD and USC Big Data Health Science Center (BDHSC, https://bigdata.sc.edu) to conduct cutting-edge and innovative interdisciplinary research on geospatial big data analytics (e.g., analyzing massive social sensing data and healthcare records) by using/developing advanced spatiotemporal analysis methods, statistical and predictive models, and computing algorithms and tools in the intersection of Science, data science, and health science.
Welcome Fengrui!
