研究方向与社会贡献 (Research direction and social contribution)

梁博士的研究兴趣在于如何通过城市数据和科技地更好地支持城市中人的社交生活和规划过程中的公民参与和合作。她的研究兴趣和方法来源于复杂系统科学，网络科学，和地理信息系统和规划学科中批判性和参与式研究的传统， 并希望通过这些方法能够促进城市中人与人之间真诚的交往和社会多元的融合。最近深入的两个研究主题包括1）城市基础设施（比如交通和社交基础设施）如何展示双面性，比如对某一群体或一类的空间流动和社交提供便利，但同时阻碍另一群体或一类的空间流动和社交，2）数据和科技如何支持，改变，或挑战现有的参与式规划。她的研究成果已发表在知名的同行评议期刊和会议论文集，比如Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science, Transactions in GIS, 和the Proceedings of the 28th ACM SIGKIDD Conference等。

Dr. Liang’s research interests are to support vibrant social life in cities and participatory and collaborative process in planning through urban analytics. Her approaches are inspired by the field of complex system, network science, and critical & participatory traditions in GIS and planning, and therefore ground her research in the pursuit of authentic human connections and social inclusion in cities. Her most recent research themes are to 1) explore how urban networks and network infrastructure (such as transportation and social infrastructure) can simultaneously be inclusive and exclusive, offering connectivity and access for certain populations, places, or types of flows, while marginalizing or restricting others, and 2) how data and technology can support, transform, or challenge participatory practices in planning.
Her works have been published in top-tier journals and conference proceedings, such as Environment and Planning B: Urban Analytics and City Science, Transactions in GIS, and the Proceedings of the 28th ACM SIGKIDD Conference.
