Junfeng Jiao Biography

Dr. Junfeng Jiao is a scholar and researcher specializing in urban planning, technology, and artificial intelligence. Jiao serves as a professor of urban informatics at Singapore Management University and is a member of the Meta AI Wellbeing Expert Council. He is also a senior Fulbright specialist on smart cities for the Fulbright Program. Jiao has been listed among the top two percent of scientists globally by Stanford-Elsevier.

Jiao developed much of his academic profile during his tenure at the University of Texas at Austin, where he held the Hampton K. and Margaret Frye Snell Endowed Chair in Transportation in the Community and Regional Planning program. He was the founding director of the Urban Information Lab, Texas Smart Cities, and the UT NSF Ethical AI Program. Jiao also served as a founding member and past chair of UT Good Systems Grand Challenge, a $10 million research initiative. As a principal investigator or co-principal investigator, he has secured funding from organizations including the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Transportation, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, Microsoft, MITRE, and Google.

Jiao's research centers on smart cities, urban informatics, and ethical artificial intelligence, with contributions to smart city development and data-driven urban systems. He is known for his work on shared mobility and for coining the term transit deserts. His research on the economic and health impacts of transit deserts has informed policy discussions. Using artificial intelligence methods, Jiao has examined spatial-temporal patterns of shared activities such as Airbnb, Uber, scooter, and bike sharing in major U.S. cities. He and his team developed an autonomous robot delivery system at UT Austin, designed generative AI systems ComputeGPT and OpenCityAI, and deployed a digital twin model for Austin called the Austin Fire Digital Twin.

Jiao has authored more than 110 peer-reviewed publications, including studies on urban mobility, transit deserts, and the societal impact of shared mobility on urban environments. He has written books titled "Shared Mobility" and "Smart Cities." Jiao's research has been featured by media outlets including ABC, Associated Press, CNN, Fox, NBC, NPR, New York Times, and Wired. He is frequently invited to speak on topics related to the future of cities and responsible technology, addressing urban and technological challenges for diverse audiences.
