I AM ATLAS, A MAP EVANGELIST.



My name is Chenxiao Guo 郭晨曉, and I go by "Atlas". I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Geography (Cartography / GIS) with doctoral minor in Computer Science at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am a graduate student member of Spatial Computing and Data Mining (SCDM) Lab and UW Cartography Lab (CartLab).

My research direction includes spatiotemporal analytics, cartographic visualization, social media data mining, and natural disaster management, devoted to bridging GeoAI, cartography and social good. My doctoral dissertation is titled GeoAI-Powered Cartography for Natural Disaster Management. Before entering UW-Madison, I received my M.S degree in Geography from the University of Georgia, and B.S degree in GIS from the Sun Yat-sen University.
