Dr. Y. (Yanan) Xin
Profile
Yanan Xin is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Transport and Planning, and co-director of the DAIMoND (Digitalization & AI for Mobility Network Dynamics) Lab. Her research interests cover interpretable machine learning, spatial causal inference, mobility-based anomaly detection, and the intersection between mobility and energy. Before joining TU Delft, she was a Senior Assistant (Oberassistent) and Lecturer at ETH Zurich, leading the Mobility Information Engineering Lab. She received a Master of Urban Spatial Analytics degree from the University of Pennsylvania and a PhD degree in Geography (Specialization: Geographic Information Science) from the Pennsylvania State University.
Research interests
With the goal of promoting responsible AI transformation in transportation, my research focuses on developing causality-inspired AI methods that are interpretable and robust to support mobility modeling, prediction, and policy intervention.
