I’m currently a graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where I’m pursuing a doctorate in Informatics with a focus in Spatial Informatics. At UIUC I work as a research assistant under Dr. Shaowen Wang at the CyberInfrastructure & Geospatial Information Laboratory (CIGI) and CyberGIS Center for Advanced Digital and Spatial Studies. In these labs, I am part of the “Algorithms & Systems” and “Spatial Modeling” groups which allows me to explore deploying complex systems on Kubernetes and simulating complex socio-economic phenomena.
Particle Swarm Optimization for Calibration in Spatially Explicit Agent-Based Modeling
The notebook is designed to teach you about Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and how you can use it for parameter optimization Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) was first introduced in 1995 by James Kennedy and Russell Eberhart The algorithm began as a simulation of social flocking behaviors like those exhibited by flocks of birds and schools of fish, specifically of birds searching a cornfield, but was found to be useful for training feedforward multilayer pernceptron neural networks Since then, PSO has been adapted in a variety of ways and ...

Agent-based Land Market
Urban land markets exhibit complex emergent behaviors that have yet to be fully explained by the microeconomic decision-making which constitutes the market The Agent-based Land MArket (ALMA) framework has been introduced to simulate a bilateral agent-based land market that produces a rent gradient In this paper, we extend the ALMA framework by introducing two new parameters, heterogeneity, and ...
