Hi! My name is Tan Kaizhen (谭楷蓁). I’m a fourth-year undergraduate student at the School of Economics and Management, Tongji University, with a diverse and multidisciplinary academic background. During my studies in Information Management and Information System, I developed a solid foundation in computer programming, data management, data analysis and machine learning techniques. Additionally, I acquired knowledge in business-related subjects and gained insights into managerial thinking framework.

Intriguingly, I have always had a great passion for cities and human geography. My research has been exploring innovative applications and development of GeoAI and Urban Data Science. I am very fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Wei Huang and Dr. Weihua Huan from College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, Tongji University and Department of Land Surveying and Geo-Informatics, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. As a research assistant, I collaborated on an SCI paper focused on modeling and analyzing urban traffic congestion propagation patterns using spatio-temporal-semantic knowledge graphs, which is planned for publication this year.

I am also a student researcher at College of Architecture and Urban Planning (CAUP), Tongji University, mentoring by Prof Yujia Zhai. We mainly focus on the vast data of tourists’ recreational experience, as well as the impact of built environment and urban landscape on human behavior. I successfully developed and fine-tuned two artificial intelligence models to process review texts and tourism photos, respectively. We also aim to produce an SCI paper.

My ultimate goal is to become a data scientist who incorporates the boundless capabilities of AI technologies to develop efficient solutions to complex urban and social problems. I aspire to travel to every county in China and every corner of the world, aiming to use AI methods to genuinely improve people’s lives and well-being.

Recent Updates

In September 2024, I joined the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R) at A*STAR in Singapore, collaborating with a research team specializing in Intelligent Transportation Solutions. My role centered on an Air Traffic Management project, where I tackled challenges in data modeling, deep learning, and operational optimization under the mentorship of Dr. Yicheng Zhang and Dr.Sheng Zhang.

By December 2024, I wrapped up my on-site work in Singapore and returned to China, where I continue to collaborate remotely. This project has since evolved into my graduation thesis, guided by Dr. Kejie Wei, Assistant Professor of Operations at Tongji University.

In January 2025, I will begin an AI product manager internship at the Shanghai Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, focusing on advancing AI applications across diverse scenarios and driving innovative solutions.
