- Funded by VILLUM FONDEN's Villum Synergy programme.
AI-Powered Spatial Databases (2021-)
- This project focuses on applying AI models to enabling more time-efficient and less space-consuming management (e.g., indexing and querying) of big spatial data that is massive, heterogeneous and dynamic.
- Funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark (Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond).
Data Management Foundations for Indoor LBS (2019-2024)
- This project is intended to establish general data management foundations and design novel data related technologies for indoor LBS applications.
- Funded by Independent Research Fund Denmark (Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond).
Management and Applications of Indoor-Space Trajectory Data (2016-2018)
- This project handles uncertain indoor trajectory data that is captured by systems using technologies like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
- Funded by Overseas Collaboration Grant of The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
BagTrack/Styr på bagagen (2012-2015)
- Torben Bach Pedersen (PI), Hua Lu (co-PI)
- A project dedicated to improving bag handling in aviation industry globally through RFID-tracking of airport baggage.
- Funded by The Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation (now Innovation Fund Denmark).
NILTEK (2010-2014)
- A partnering project to BagTrack, focusing on cleansing RFID tracking data.
- Funded by EU Regional Development Fund.

I am delighted to be the university supervisor of these two industrial PhD projects funded by Innovation Fund Denmark (IFD) :

I am proud to be the supervisor of this EU MSCA fellowship project:

MALOT: Managing Mobility Data Quality for Location of Things (2020-2022)
- Researcher/PI: Huan Li (Now a young professor at Zhejiang University)
- This project addresses challenges related to data quality of mobility data generated in IoT contexts.
- Funded by European Commission (see official info)

Early on, I participated in the following research projects:

Indoor Spatial Awareness (ISA)
- PI: Christian S. Jensen
A Spatio-temporal Autonomic Database Engine for location-aware services (SpADE)
- PI: Beng Chin Ooi
