Zhixuan Qi

Zhixuan is an Urban and Regional Planning PhD student at the University of Michigan. She is broadly interested in how people experience cities, and how those experiences reveal deeper patterns of equity, governance, and technological change.

Trained in Information Science and Software Engineering, she is an urbanist in tech-person disguise. Ask her about local histories, burger rankings, and the long, meditative hours she has recently spent with truck simulators. When she is not enthusiastically typing on her keyboard, you can find her out biking or bouldering.
