An assistant professor of geographic information science (GIScience) and geospatial artificial intelligence (GeoAI) at the University of New Mexico. Liping directs the Geospatial Artificial Intelligence Research and Visualization (GeoAIR) Laboratory. Liping was a postdoctoral research associate in the Information Sciences group at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), focusing on computer vision and machine learning algorithm development for technical diagram image analysis. Before joining LANL, Liping was a postdoc researcher on big geospatial data mining and geovisualization in the GeoVISTA Center at Penn State University. Liping has worked many years at the intersection of GIScience, Computer Science, and Mathematics. Her multidisciplinary background on GIScience, graph theory, computational geometry, and machine learning provides her a solid foundation to develop creative and novel solutions to advance machine vision.
