Hi, There!

I am Qing Li.

I am a third year graduate student in the Wisconsin Traffic Operations and Safety (TOPS) Laboratory at University of Wisconsin - Madison. I work under the supervision of Prof. Bin Ran. Before coming to UW-Madison, I got my bachelor's degree from Xi'an Jiaotong University, China.

My research area is in Intelligent Transportation Systems with interests in transportation Big Data analytics, spatio-temporal data mining, and urban computing. I was used to work on image annotation, and multi-kernel learning.

If you are coming to this website by my resume. I am sorry that there was a mistake in my resume about graduate year for my bachelor degree. I actually got it in 2013 instead of 2009 (which was the start year).
