My name is Qixiu Cheng (程启秀). I have been a Lecturer in Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics at the University of Bristol (UoB) Business School since September 2023. I’m focusing on exploring smart mobility systems with quantitative methods from multiple disciplines, e.g., transportation engineering, operations research, statistical analysis, and artificial intelligence. I am broadly interested in the research topics on transportation network modeling and optimization, traffic flow theory and control, and AI applications in transportation. My full publications can be found in my Google Scholar. 

I am looking for self-motivated PhD students with a solid background in transportation engineering, operations research, and/or AI algorithms. The applicant should be familiar with at least one programming language (e.g., Python, Matlab, and C++). The English language requirement can be found here. If you are interested in pursuing a PhD degree working with me at the University of Bristol Business School, please send me your CV and transcripts at any time, and we can discuss more on your research topic. I also welcome visiting scholars and visiting PhD students, please send me an email if you are interested.
