Qiming joined the Adaptive Mobility, Land-use and Infrastructure (AMIL) Module of Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) at Singapore-ETH Centre (SEC) in February 2023. The research program explores the adaptive planning of transport infrastructure under uncertainties using AI-based technologies. The PIs for this program involves the professor and deputy head of Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering of ETH Zurch, Prof Dr Bryan T Adey, the presidential young (Assistant) Professor of the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the National University of Singapore, external page Prof Dr Prateek Bansal.

Prior to that, he was a PhD, TA, and PhD Rep (2019-2020) at the Centre for Transport Studies (CTS) at Imperial College London. His PhD research focuses on modelling urban street configurations for autonomous vehicle flows. He was supervised by external page Prof Dr Panagiotis Angeloudis who directs the Transport Systems & Logistics Laboratory (TSL), and external page Prof Dr Marc E J Stettler directing the Transport & Environment Laboratory (TEL) at Imperial.

His research focuses on advancing AI-integrated planning decision tools to address key challenges in smart cities and intelligent transportation systems, encompassing electric vehicle charging infrastructure planning, microscopic traffic modelling, vehicle-to-grid integration, autonomous vehicles, intelligent road infrastructure management, parking and PUDO optimisation, and low-carbon and active mobility strategies.
Specifically, his current research focuses on:

  • Spatiotemporal planning of EV charging infrastructure under uncertainties.
  • Shared Electric and Autonomous Vehicle (SEAVs) urban traffic simulation.
  • Optimisation of large-scale urban parking spaces.
  • Dynamic PUDO operations for a urban large network.
  • Dynamic allocation of road space to road users of a large urban network.
  • Reinforcement learning and metaheuristics-integrated urban and transport planning

Qiming received his Bachelor's (2013) and Master's Degrees (2016) in urban planning from Tongji University, China. He also received an additional Master's Degree (2016) in urban planning and policy design from Politecnico di Milano, Italy.
