Abstract: Huang Ling, currently an associate professor of economics at the University of Connecticut, graduated from Duke University, with research areas including environmental economics and industrial organization. Professor Huang Ling is committed to designing more effective policies by mining large-scale microdata, with a particular focus on the evaluation of environmental policy effectiveness and the impact of individual strategic behavior. Her research has been published in journals such as American Economic Review, Environmental and Resource Economics, PLOS ONE, and Marine Resource Economics. Currently, she is using machine learning algorithms in computer vision to analyze satellite imagery in order to study sustainable urbanization policies. These studies aim to optimize the use of resources from both temporal and spatial dimensions, using advanced dynamic models and cutting-edge computer vision technology.
