Biography
Haozhi Pan is a Professor at the School of International and Public Affairs, Shanghai Jiao Tong University. He holds a PhD in Regional Planning from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), where he later served as a postdoctoral researcher at the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory (REAL). At REAL, he pioneered supercomputing-driven analyses of socioeconomic dynamics and urban structures, informing policies for Chicago and global cities. Currently, his work centers on artificial intelligence and global sustainability, particularly leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to decode climate patterns and foster cross-border collaboration. His interdisciplinary approach emphasizes bridging knowledge gaps in underserved regions by harnessing LLMs’ multilingual capacities to democratize access to climate resilience strategies.
Pan actively engages in public discourse via media appearances, including policy analyses in the Shanghai TV News. Pan serves as Managing Editor of Urban Governance and Assistant Editor of Land Use Policy. He advises committees such as the Shanghai Maternal and Child Health Quality Control Center and the Shanghai Fixed Assets Investment Association.
