About Me

• My name is Zhiyong Zhou, a Ph.D. student at the GIScience Center, Department of Geography, University of Zurich. And my Ph.D. advisor is Dr. Haosheng Huang.
• My major research field is on geographic information science (GIScience), with focuses on the intersection of behavioral and cognitive geography, geoinformatics, and human-computer interaction.
• My personal research vision is to facilitate individual access to spatial information and improve individual spatial abilities by enabling more natural interaction between humans and (mobile) geographic information systems.
• Prior to becoming a Ph.D. student at UZH, I received my B.E. and M.E. Degree from the Faculty of Information and Engineering, China University of Geosciences (Wuhan). I was a member of UbiLoc led by Prof. Jianga Shang.

• [2019/05/28] I gave the PhD concept talk in the GISicence colloquium of Department of Geography in UZH.
• [2018/09/01] I joined the GIScience Center, Department of Geography, University of Zurich. I will work on the IndoorLBS project under the advise of Dr. Haosheng Huang and Prof. Dr. Robert Weibel.
• [2018/06/25] I was qualified for graduation from CUG with the title Outstanding Graduates and was awarded the Degree of Master of Engineering.
• [2018/05/24] I defended my master thesis! Defense talk is titled A Hierarchical Spatial Data Model for Map-matching Based Indoor Localization.
