Research Interest

My research interests include Computational Sociology, Public Policy, Multi-stakeholder Interest Game, Community Planning, Megaregion and City Network, and Spatial Equity.

Doctoral Thesis

My doctoral thesis focuses on how stakeholders collectively treat and manage the land in land management practice, and explores voluntary collective action to develop more effective policies to avoid inequality and informality. On the technical front, I specialize in the technical application of sociological insights to land management.

With a publication record of 18 peer-reviewed articles, 3 manuscripts in the second round of revision, 3 with the editor, and 4 paper drafts, my academic journey in Land Management and Geospatial Science has been marked by a dedication to advancing the understanding of land marketization, urbanization, and complex city networks.

Research Experiences

I have presented at over a dozen peer-reviewed conferences, served as a peer reviewer for several academic journals, and am a member of multiple professional and scholarly affiliations.
