About
De-Cyuan is a researcher at the University of Würzburg with an academic background in Urban Planning and Spatial Information. He has practical experience as a licensed urban planner and spatial data scientist, focusing on remote sensing applications for spatial planning. He currently works at the Chair of Global Urbanization and Remote Sensing and collaborates with the Geolinguistics/Text2Geo team at the German Aerospace Center (DLR-GZS).
His research focuses on exploring the interaction between human activities and the physical environments of cities through the integration of remote sensing and textual data (e.g. social media), with the aim of better representing the complexity of cities. De-Cyuan is passionate about drawing insights from multiple disciplines and brings a deep curiosity to both research and teaching.
