The potential of large language models to transcend theoretical limits in predicting human mobility @AAG 2026

San Fransico, US

I am a PhD graduate at the WorldPop, University of Southampton. My research focuses on how environmental and policy changes shape human behaviours and population health, bridging geospatial data sciences, computational social science, econometrics, and public health.
My current work focuses on three themes: 1) Spatiotemporal population dynamics, mapping monthly, daily, to hourly population distribution by integrating mobile phone positioning and geospatial data. 2) Human behaviours and disease dynamics, drawing on social media and digital traces data to examine how human mobility and health behaviours shape infectious disease transmission, and how health interventions affect mental well-being. 3) Human mobility and climate change, which investigates the impacts of climate and environmental exposure, including floods, tropical cyclones, and wildfires, on human mobility and population health.
