Vivian Wong

Hi! I am Vivian Wong, a Ph.D. student in the Stanford University Civil Engineering department, with a focus in engineering informatics (data analysis and management). I do research in the Engineering Informatics Group and the Stanford Center at the Incheon Global Campus. Currently, I am working on:

1. Using spatiotemporal data to understand human behaviour and mobility in urban systems
2. AI applications to smart manufacturing

I received my M.S. from Stanford University in 2019 and my B.S. from University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2017. My hometown is Toronto, Canada, and I also spent a great amount of my childhood in the lovely cities of Hong Kong and Beijing.

Further Introduction

• My father's side of the family were Cambodian refugees. Their escape from the Khmer Rouge taught me that no matter how difficult life is, persistence, hard work and sometimes a little luck will help you survive even the toughest times.
• Favorite PhD comics
• Other interests: acoustic guitars, singing, whales, reading, cooking Chinese food.
