My name is Yingjie Hu. I am a Ph.D. student at the Department of Geography of the University of California, Santa Barbara, USA. I work with Dr. Krzysztof Janowicz in the Space and Time Knowledge Organization Lab (STKO), and focus on Geospatial semantics, Personal GIS, Semantic Web, Semantic Desktop, and mobile computing.

Before studying in UCSB, I was a master student at the Geography Department of East China Normal University, where I participated in the researches on geovisualization, geocollaboration, and geospatial services. I was also the main developer in several web-based 3D GIS research projects.
