Dr. Weiming Huang is a Lecturer in Urban Data Science at the University of Leeds, UK. He obtained his PhD in Geographical Information Science (GIScience) from Lund University, Sweden, and was a Wallenberg Postdoctoral Fellow at Nanyang Technological University and Lund University. He is a Member of the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. His foundational contributions to GIScience have been internationally recognised, for which he is the recipient of the 2021 EuroSDR Award for Best PhD Thesis and the 2022 Waldo Tobler Young Researcher Award from the Austrian Academy of Sciences. In addition, he has acted as a guest editor for leading GIScience journals and served on the program committee of top-tier AI conferences.

Dr. Huang’s research interests span several strands in Geospatial Artificial Intelligence (GeoAI), particularly spatial data mining, geospatial foundation models, and explainable methods for GeoAI. These methodological developments have been applied to a range of urban analytical tasks to inform sustainable urban development, including the prediction of land use dynamics, population distribution, house prices, and carbon emissions.
