Vincent X. Gong
A programmer who does research, and a researcher who builds products.
I study crowd dynamics at TU Delft by analyzing social and sensor data, including demographic composition, spatio-temporal movement patterns, sentiment, POI preferences, and crowd-density estimates. At the same time, I'm a lifelong programmer: I build tools, data pipelines, models, and platforms, stay curious about emerging technologies, and turn ideas into wonderful products.
Projects
Chatbot
Conversational research assistant for TU Delft. Searches internal docs, browses open datasets (TU Delft Pure, 4TU, Zenodo, UMO), and drives pedestrian-flow simulations straight from a prompt.
Academic Portfolio
Papers and research trail behind the PhD and postdoc work — crowd analytics, social-media signals, city events.
TRAIL PhD Thesis Template
A LaTeX template for TRAIL PhD students in the Netherlands — format checked and confirmed by TRAIL, works locally or via Overleaf. Rescues a few weeks of formatting from every thesis.
