About Cecilia

Dr. Jianhong (Cecilia) Xia serves as Adjunct Associate Professor in Geographic Information Systems within the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Curtin University. Previously, she held the position of Associate Professor and Director of the Geographic Information Science program at the university. With more than 20 years of professional experience, Xia is a distinguished GIS educator, spatial analyst, and modeller. She has also worked extensively as a transport geographer, focusing her research on tourism movements, public transport development and accessibility, driving behaviours particularly among older adults, spatial navigation and wayfinding, human mobility patterns, and urban sustainability challenges including surface urban heat islands and ventilation dynamics. Her contributions extend to supervising doctoral research on spatio-temporal modelling of park-and-ride accessibility and unpacking older drivers' visual-motor coordination at roundabouts.
