Welcome!
Hi, I’m Xinyu Li (Joey), a Lecturer in the Department of Geography, Planning, and Sustainability at the University at Albany, SUNY. My work explores how new technologies like GeoAI and digital twins can help us better understand cities, improve urban mobility, and support more sustainable communities. I enjoy turning complex spatial and mobility data into clear insights and visualizations that can guide real-world planning and decision-making.
