Hi! I'm Yifeng, a grad student at DUSP@MIT , where I merge my curiosity for people's stories with a rigorous study of urban informatics and data-driven optimization. From DUSP, my research interests are in human mobility and operation reaserch in city planning; At MIT, I am also conducting research on machine learning and optimization of urban problems.

Before coming to MIT, I received my Bachelor's degree in architecture from Tsinghua University. My first research was guided by Professor Yuan Lai.
