Brief Bio sketch:
Ming-Hsiang
(Ming) Tsou is a Professor in the
Department of Geography, San Diego State University (SDSU) and the Director of
the Center for Human Dynamics in the Mobile Age (HDMA). He received a
B.S. (1991) from National Taiwan University, an M.A. (1996) from the State
University of New York at Buffalo, and a Ph.D. (2001) from the University of
Colorado at Boulder, all in Geography. His research interests are in Human Dynamics, Social Media, Big Data,
Visualization, Internet Mapping, Web GIS, Mobile GIS, Cartography, and K-12 GIS education. He is co-author of Internet GIS, a scholarly book published in 2003 by
Wiley and served on the editorial boards of the
Annals of GIS (2008-), Cartography and GIScience
(2013-) and the
Professional Geographers (2011-).
Tsou was the Chair of the Cartographic Specialty Group (2007-2008), the Chair
of Cyberinfrastructure Specialty Group (2012-2013) in
the Association of American Geographers (AAG), and the co-chair of the NASA
Earth Science Enterprise Data System Working Group (ESEDWG) Standard Process
Group (SPG) from 2004 to 2007. He has
been served on two U.S. National Academy of Science Committees: “Research Priorities for the USGS Center of
Excellence for Geospatial Information Science” (2006-2007) and “Geotargeted Alerts and Warnings: A
Workshop on Current Knowledge and Research Gaps” (2012- 2013). Since
2008, Tsou served as a senior researcher in the GeoTech Center to
promote GIS education in community colleges and high schools and conducted
professional training workshops for GIS educators annually ( http://www.geotechcenter.org/). In 2010, Tsou was awarded to a $1.3 million
research grant funded by National Science Foundation and served as the
Principal Investigator (PI) of, "Mapping ideas from Cyberspace to Realspace" (http://mappingideas.sdsu.edu/) research project (2010-2014). This NSF-CDI project integrates GIS,
computational linguistics, web search engines, and social media APIs to track
and analyze public-accessible websites and tweets for visualizing and
analyzing the diffusion of information and ideas in cyberspace. In Spring 2014, Tsou established a new research center, Human Dynamics in the Mobile Age (http://humandynamics.sdsu.edu/), a transdisciplinary research area of excellence at San Diego
State University to integrate research works from GIScience,
Public Health, Social Science, Sociology, and Communication. Tsou is the
founding director of the HDMA Center. In Fall 2014,
Tsou received a NSF Interdisciplinary
Behavioral and Social Science Research (IBSS) award for “Spatiotemporal Modeling of Human Dynamics Across Social Media and
Social Networks” ($999,887, 2014-2018). This large
interdisciplinary research project studies human dynamics across social
media and social networks, focusing on information diffusion modeling over time
and space, and the connection between online activities and real world human
behaviors.

VI. SERVICE TO THE UNIVERSITY AND THE COMMUNITY
Service
for the Community
2007 and 2003 Established
interactive Web-based mapping services
for San Diego Wildfire 2003 and 2007 HTTP://MAP.SDSU.EDU. This Web site (http://map.sdsu.edu) was
created immediately on October 27, 2003 (Monday morning) to provide Web mapping
services for helping our local community. This site was updated daily and
provides maps of the
Numerous e-mails are
flooding in to thank SDSU for creating the site. Among them:
“I have been keeping track of the fires. My
daughter is a sophomore and living in
–a very worried parent
“Thanks for the map. It is very helpful in
understanding what went on in San Diego.”
-Anonymous, Long Island,
“I want to congratulate you and your
colleagues on the magnificent Web site you created for the recent fires.”
-Economics professor at UCSD
More
information about this Web site can be found at the November 17 issue of SDSUniverse (http://www.sdsuniverse.info/story.asp?id=11596) and the 360 Magazine (Spring 2004) page

On October 21, 2007.
This website was activated again. Tsou was leading the San Diego GIS
force group, a volunteer group of SDSU faculty and students to established interactive Web-based mapping
services for the new San Diego Wildfire 2007 for helping local San Diego
community. Based on the Web server transaction logs, 236,693 unique
visitors visited the Web site during the first week of wildfires in
2007. The City of San Diego, the
Southern California Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) team, and the
County’s emergency fire information center created Web links from their
wildfire pages to the website.

‘Using Twitter To Predict Elections—Or The Flu’. Tsou and Dipak Gupta, both San Diego State
University professors, are part of a project called Mapping Ideas. The idea is
to track and analyze publicly-accessible websites, as well as social media like
Twitter and Facebook, for key words and phrases and then track their spread.
The project tracked the frequency of mentions of “Obama” and “Romney” on
Twitter the week before the election. Remarkably, its results closely resemble
the polls taken during that last week. Click
