I'm a PhD student at the Division of Physics and Applied Physics, School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences in Nanyang Technological University, Singapore under the Complexity Science Programme. My PhD research focuses on the socio, spatial and temporal modelling of urban systems. I'm is interested in understanding how urban systems grow, reproduce and metabolize and how statistical physics and diffusion concepts together with data mining and agent-based modelling can be utilized to comprehend the dynamics behind the propagation of information and resources in the urban network and how this in turn affect the evolution of the system. Currently, I'm working on how we can couple land use and the way people move within an urban system to model the flow of commuters in a transport network. This will give insights as to how the transport network should evolve with changing land-use and human mobility patterns such that it is robust and efficient.
