Dr. Pengyang Wang has broad interests in data mining and machine learning, especially in geospatial-temporal data modeling. Geospatial-temporal data is the indicator of Internet-of-Things (IoT), which reveals complex patterns underneath the human-environment system. The research objective is to understand the heterogeneity and dynamics of the system, and further provide optimal decision support for boosting commercial activities, enhancing public security, fostering social interaction, and thus yielding livable, sustainable, and viable environments. His research is motivated by real-world applications, such as business, transportation, energy, critical infrastructure defense, etc.
