I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. at the Urban Mobility Institute (UMI), Tongji University, Shanghai, China. I am a member of the CTIT research group, completing my dissertation on “Investigating Influencing Factors and Developing Incentive Strategies for the Integrated Usage of Electric Bike-sharing Services and Metro Systems” under the guidance of Professor Xinghua Li. Prior to this, I received my bachelor’s degree from Southwest Jiaotong University in 2020.

I am currently a visiting PhD student at Ghent University.
