Biography
Dr. Bo Huang is a Professor in the Department of Geography and Resource Management, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he is also the Associate Director of Institute of Space and Earth Information Science (ISEIS). Prior to this, he held faculty positions at University of Calgary (Geomatics Engineering), Canada and National University of Singapore (Civil Engineering). He has a background and experience in diverse disciplines, including urban planning, computer science, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and remote sensing. His research interests are broad, covering most aspects of GIScience, specifically the design and development of models in spatial/spatio-temporal statistics, remote sensing image fusion and multi-objective spatial optimization, and their applications in environmental monitoring and sustainable land use and transportation planning with consideration of resilience. Dr. Huang serves as the Asia-Pacific Editor of International Journal of Geographical Information Science (Taylor & Francis) and the Editor-in-Chief of Comprehensive GIS (Elsevier), a three-volume major GIS sourcebook. Currently he is exploring along the line of geospatial big data to address sustainable spatial planning problems. He was awarded Chang Jiang Scholar Chair Professorship in 2016 by the Ministry of Education of PR China.
