Summary
Luyu Liu is an assistant professor and geospatial data scientist with eight years of experience applying AI-driven methods, GIScience, and space-time analytics to sustainable transportation and mobility equity. Her research blends transport geography, urban computing, and geovisualization to reduce car dependency and promote accessible, resilient public transit and micromobility. Trained at Peking University and The Ohio State University (PhD), she brings strong quantitative skills from computational mathematics to empirically grounded policy-relevant work. Luyu’s recent roles include a postdoc at the University of Florida and her current faculty position at Auburn, where she develops data-driven tools that reveal inequities in urban mobility. An interesting thread through her work is the fusion of advanced spatial analytics with practical interventions that inform both planners and communities.
