Xiao Fu
Mobile Systems & Wildfire
I am a Ph.D. Candidate of Computer Science at University of Southern California (USC). I'm honored to work with Prof. Barath Raghavan in the Networked Systems Laboratory. I received my B.S. in Computer Science from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT).
My research interests include community resilience, food security, wildfire mitigation, and other disaster responses through sensing nature, building artifacts, geospatial analysis, and engaging people. This article features a prior work on wildfire mitigation with crowdsensing platform and mapping algorithms.
