About me

Jiawei Wang now is a postdoctoral researcher in Center for Spatial Information Science, The University of Tokyo. Wang received his PhD degree in Civil Engineering (Transportation) from McGill University, supervised by Prof Lijun Sun. During his PhD, he worked on traffic control with machine learning techniques, especially on how to address bus bunching through multi-agent reinforcement learning. He received his B.E. and M.S. degrees from the Department of Intelligent Engineering at Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou, China, where he mainly worked on urban network traffic prediction with deep learning.
