Junshi Xu is a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Geography at The University of Hong Kong (HKU). Prior to joining HKU, Professor Xu worked as a Research Associate at the University of Toronto’s Department of Civil & Mineral Engineering, where he earned his Ph.D. in Transportation Engineering in 2020. He also served as the Director of Positive Zero Transport Futures, a living lab initiative evaluating transport decarbonization innovations with positive societal impacts.
At HKU, Professor Xu leads the PEACE (People-oriented, Equitable, Accessible, Community-focused, and Environmental) urban mobility research group, focusing on addressing complex urban transport and environmental challenges. His multidisciplinary research bridges data science, engineering, and social sciences to investigate the interactions between transportation, air quality, climate change, public health, and socioeconomics.
Professor Xu's recent work explores urban air quality and population exposure, particularly concerning emerging and unregulated air pollutants. He leverages machine learning modelling and deep learning applications to investigate environmental justice issues, especially for marginalized individuals facing transport and social challenges. His research aims to achieve thriving, equitable, and sustainable cities through diverse collaborations with academia, government, industry, and communities.
