I am a PhD student in the School of Built Environment at UNSW Sydney. My research focuses on the intersection of artificial intelligence, geospatial science, and urban planning. Prior to joining UNSW, I worked as a Senior Engineer in the geospatial industry, specialising in GIS, remote sensing, spatial data analysis, and smart city applications. I have experience in developing geospatial solutions for large-scale urban projects and have published research in leading journals in geospatial science. My current research explores how large language models (LLMs) and AI agents can support spatial analysis and urban planning.
