Wei Luo is a Research Associate at the Boston Children's Hospital Computational Health Informatics Program (CHIP) and Harvard Medical School. Wei Luo received his MA in Geography Department at University at Buffalo and his PhD in Geography Department at Penn State University. He was postdocs at Computer Science Department and Geography Department at Arizona State University and UC Santa Barbara. Wei Luo proposed a new research area: geo-social visual analytics, which aims to integrate spatial analysis, social network analysis, and machine learning into visual analytics environments. He designed and developed a series of geovisual analytics tools and high performance computational models for large-scale location-based social networks (HPC- LBSNs) and applied them to infectious disease control (i.e., influenza, HIV), international trade, social media, crime analysis, climate change impacts, and water crisis.
