DESCRIPTION:Assistant Professor\n\nDepartment of Computer Science\n\nWorces
 ter Plytechnic Institute\n\nManaging and Making Sense of Big Data From Urb
 an Networks\n\nAbstract: The urban network infrastructure has undergone a 
 fast development and expansion over recent years\, which increasingly gene
 rates an immense amount of big data\, such as human mobility data\, human 
 transaction data\, regional weather data\, and etc. These heterogeneous ur
 ban network data bring new\nchallenges in data management\, and convey ric
 h information about a city and can enable intelligent\nsolutions to solve 
 various urban challenges\, such as urban facility planning\, air pollution
 \, etc. In this talk\, I\npresent my work on managing and analyzing these 
 urban network data that enable smart city operation\nsystems and improve p
 eoples' life quality. Going beyond the existing fixed route model in publi
 c transits\nand point‐to‐point model in private transits\, the first w
 ork introduces a hybrid hub‐&‐spoke transit system\nfor urban transpor
 tation\, that requires less routes than private transits\, thus improves t
 he efficiency of\nusing transportation resources and increase the occupati
 on rate\; and it requires less stops/transfers than existing public transi
 ts to save on trip time. In the second work\, by analyzing a large‐scale
  electric taxi\ntrajectory data\, I investigate an emerging and challengin
 g question to urban planners and electric utility companies\, namely\, how
  to strategically deploy the charging stations and charging points in an u
 rban area to minimize the average time to the nearest charging station\, a
 nd the average waiting time for an available charging point.\n\n\nBiograph
 y: Yanhua Li is an Assistant Professor with the Department of Computer Sci
 ence and Data Science\nProgram at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). B
 efore joining WPI\, Dr. Li worked as a Post‐Doctoral\nResearcher in the 
 Department of Computer Science and Engineering at University of Minnesota\
 , Twin\nCities\, and worked as a researcher in HUAWEI Noah's Ark LAB at Ho
 ng Kong. He obtained two PhD degrees\nin computer science and electrical e
 ngineering from University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities in 2013\, and\nBeiji
 ng University of Posts and Telecommunications in 2009. His broad research 
 interests are in smart cities\,\ndata‐driven cyber‐physical systems (C
 PS)\, and urban computing. Dr. Li has held visiting positions in Bell Labs
  in New Jersey\, Microsoft Research Asia\, and HUAWEI\nresearch labs of Am
 erica. He is a senior member of IEEE and a member of ACM.
