Hi, This is Tong!

I’m a scientist at Uber. Before starting my industry career, I received my PhD degree from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My research interests are to create scalable, generalizable graph neural network applications for transportation systems. I have worked on several areas in the transportation system, including traffic flow prediction, reliability analysis, and network planning. Before my PhD, I graduated from Stanford University and Tongji University.
