Yi Ding

Postdoctroal Associate at MIT

I am currently a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT Institute for Data, Systems, and Society (IDSS) and Media Lab. I received my Ph.D. in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Minnesota in 2022.

My research interests lie at the intersection of cyber-physical systems (CPS), mobile computing, and spatiotemporal data mining. I am interested in studying human behavior through smartphone sensing and machine learning in CPS and cyber-human systems (CHS) like location-based services, urban delivery, and smart cities.
