Research Experience

I am an interdisciplinary researcher who incorporates design based structured problem-solving in urbanism and architecture. My research has focused on urban informatics, transportation visualization, and human-centered design. My work involves leveraging public data to optimize urban planning through predictive models, and transportation decision support through data visualizations. I have a passion for participatory design and incorporating technology in urbanism and architecture to enhance human lifestyles. My research has led to developing innovative software tools to incorporate community sentiment and feedback into urban planning as well as ongoing experiments using Machine Learning and Computer Vision for urban planning and architecture use cases.
