我是王灿,目前是同济大学和麻省理工学院的博士后。从本科到现在一直都在城市规划专业学习和研究。许多人可能会觉得这个专业很大程度上基于设计灵感和艺术美感,但我最感兴趣的却是如何利用数据和定量方法加深我们对城市的理解,以及为城市规划提供决策支持。因此,我一直在学习和探索相关的方法技术,包括但不限于统计学、地理信息系统(GIS)、机器学习&深度学习、选择模型、社会网络分析、交通模型。希望和同样感兴趣的朋友讨论它们在城市规划中的应用,以及其他有意思的事情。
My name is Wang Can,  currently a postdoc of Tongji University (China) and MIT (US). For many years I have been learning and researching in the major of urban planning. It is common that people view this major as something strongly based on inspiration and aesthetic perception, however, what interests me most, is how to make use of data and quantitative methods to deepen our understanding of cities and support decision-making in urban planning. Consequently, I have kept improving myself with related methods, including but not limited to statistics, geographic information system (GIS), machine learning & deep learning, choice models, social network analysis, and transportation models.  I am glad to discuss with you about applications of these methods in urban planing, as well as other interesting things.

目前,我的研究主要聚焦于空间行为分析和行人模拟。我的博士论文致力于集成多种方法,通过对消费者行为的描述、解释、模拟预测,为商业空间评价与设计优化提供支持。未来,我希望能在大数据领域有更多的探索,从2014年导师领导的团队获得一批手机信令数据起,我开始接触该领域并保持浓厚的兴趣。此外,我在硕士期间的研究内容是控制性详细规划用地方案的交通影响评价,因此,交通与土地使用的关系也是我的研究兴趣。
Currently, my research is focusing on spatial behavior analysis and pedestrian simulation. My doctoral dissertation devotes to integrate variety of methods to support commercial space evaluation and design, based on description, explanation, and simulation of consumers’ spatial behavior. In the future, I am also willing to explore more in the field of big data, which I have entered since 2014 when our team acquired a set of mobile phone signaling data. Besides, in my master’s period, I was studying traffic impact assessment of land-use plans, thus interaction between transportation and land-use is also my research interest.

业余时间,我喜欢看看电影、读小说、出去旅行。我也是一个铁杆足球迷。
In my spare time, I like watching films, reading fictions, and travelling around. I am also a big football fan.
