Muyi Zhu

Welcome to my academic homepage! I'm currently a master student in the Department of Geography, the University of Hong Kong. My research focuses on leveraging spatiotemporal data to enhance transportation systems, improve road safety, and promote sustainable smart city development.

My key research interests include:

  • Transportation Safety
  • Spatiotemporal Travel Behavior Analysis
  • Air Quality Modeling
  • Environmental Justice

I will continue my academic journey at HKU as a Research Assistant, supervised by Prof. Junshi Xu! I warmly welcome collaboration with researchers in academia and beyond! Please feel free to reach out via zhumuyi0321@connect.hku.hk.
