I am Jianqiao, a lecturer at Department of Computer Science, University of York. I received my B.Eng. and Ph.D. from The University of Hong Kong in 2011 and 2015.

I am passionate on innovating artificial intelligence techniques and using them for spatial-temporal data mining. I have published more than 100 papers with 5000+ Google Scholar citations. I am one of the World’s Top 2% Scientists by Stanford University.

My current research interest focuses on 1) multi-modal large language model 2) spatial-temporal data mining, and 3) forecasting and logistics of future transportation systems. I am currently working on multi-modal large language models fusing spatial-temporal data with common modalities. Drop me a line if you are interested in any of these.

I was born in 1990 in Liaoning, China. I live with my wife and two cats 🐈小宝 & 🐈小葵. Dog in my portrait above is my “sister-in-law” 🐕小花. In my spare time, I like coding. I am the author of LaTeX Workshop, serving more than 3,000,000 academic writers.

I am looking for graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and undergraduates to work with me on exciting data science topics. If you are interested, please send me an email with your vitae.

James Jianqiao Yu received the B.Eng. and Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Hong Kong, Pokfulam, Hong Kong, in 2011 and 2015, respectively.
