Hello, thanks for visiting my homepage!

I am Weilian Li, working in the Faculty of Geosciences and Engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University, Chengdu, China. I received my Ph.D. in Geomatics Science and Technology at Southwest Jiaotong University, China, in December 2020. Then, I finished my postdoc research stay in the Geoinformation Group chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Jan-Henrik Haunert at the University of Bonn, Germany, in October 2023. Additionally, I had one year stay as a Senior Research Associate in the Computational Methods Lab led by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Youness Dehbi at the HafenCity University Hamburg, Germany.

My research primarily focuses on the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in disaster management, but also methodological expertise in Machine Learning. I have a strong interest in topics related to smart cities, disaster management, and digital twins.

Additionally, I hold the position of Topic Editor at the journal Big Earth Data and actively contribute to the GIS community as the secretary of the ISPRS ICWG III/IVa on Disaster Management and representative of the UN-GGIM Academic Network.
