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 teachers 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.

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.

tracked the frequency of mentions of “Obama” and “Romney” on Twitter the week
before the election. Remarkably, its results closely resemble the polls taken
