报告人简介：

Wenwu Tang is an Associate Professor and Executive Director of the Center for Applied GIScience at the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte at U.S.A. His research interests include cyber infrastructure and high-performance geocomputation, agent-based modeling, and land change modeling. Tang has over 71 peer-reviewed publications, including49 journa1 articles, 10 book chapters, and 12 conference proceedings.

Wenwu has been actively applying cyberinfrastructure technologies into geospatially related domains. Wenwu’s research has been supported by federal and state funding agencies, including USDA Forest Services, US CDC,US Fish and Wildlife, NCDOT, NC Forest Service, and Electric Power Research Institute. His primary interests are centered on computational science and geographic information science. More specifically, the interests include: ①the spatiotemporal analysis and modeling of complex adaptive spatial systems (CASS); ②application of artificial intelligence and, in particular, machine learning and software agents in the study of CASS; and ③use of cyberinfrastructure technology to support the resolution of computationally intensive geospatial problems.

Courses that Wenwu have taught include CyberGIS and Big Data, Spatia1 Statistics, Web GIS, Agent-based Modeling of Complex Adaptive Spatia1 Systems, and Cartography and Geovisualization. Wenwu is the editoria1 board member of Landscape and Urban Planning, and guest editors of specia1 issues on Sustainability, and ISPRS Intemational Journa1 of GeoInformation.
