Bing Zhou, Ph.D.

My research aims to foster a resilient, equitable, and healthy society through responsible and geospatial thinking. One major focus of his research is on the development and application of advanced GeoAI algorithms to extract valuable information from various big geospatial data (crowd sourced data, mobility data, social media) for climate resilience, e.g., identifying location-based help-related information from social media to support disaster response in high-disaster-risk communities. The uniqueness of my research lies in my insightful reflection and contribution to the GIScience theories, methods, and applications. I proposes a revolutionary field, Responsible GIScience, which aims to inform GIScience research and education adhering to a set of rules that address ethical principles, account for human values, and safeguard societal interests.
