Hi, my name is

Yutong Xia

PhD student @ NUS

Hi! I am Xia Yutong, currently a four-year Ph.D. student in Data Science at Institute of Data Science (IDS), National University of Singapore (NUS), supervised by Prof. Roger Zimmermann. My research interests lie in spatio-temporal data mining, urban computing, and time series analysis. Recently, I have been dedicated to harnessing the power of spatio-temporal data with causal AI techniques.

Feel free to reach me by email: yutong.x@outlook.com.
