Dear friends, nice to meet you!
I am Jiawei Xue, a Ph.D. candidate in Lyles School of Civil Engineering, Purdue University. I am working on interesting research problems in (1) artificial intelligence for urban science; (2) network science; (3) transportation modeling and optimization with Prof. Satish V. Ukkusuri. I obtained my M.S.E degree from Purdue University in 2020 and my B.E. degree from Tsinghua University in 2018.
