Smart and Livable Cities Group
WELCOME
Over the past decades, developments in sensing technology and wireless communication have provided cities and communities with increasingly-important sensor data to create more reliable and livable urban environments. The core of our research specializes in the development of state-of-the-art data science approaches to advance physical and cyber components of civil infrastructure. The ultimate goal of my research is to harness sensor data, integrated with novel AI, to inform better design, manage, and understand our city-scale civil infrastructure systems.
