Computational Urban Sciences

The Computational Urban Sciences Group is comprised of a multi-disciplinary set of scientists carrying out applied research at the intersection of computing and complex urban systems in the emerging environment of smart cities, energy infrastructures, smart grids, smarter mobility, smart buildings, emergency response, and urban resiliency. The advances are enabled by the growing body of technologies that includes big-data, high-performance computing, artificial intelligence, machine learning, modeling and simulation, and 3-D visualization.

Researchers in the Computational Urban Sciences Group develop unique tools and capabilities to understand the physical challenges and opportunities of integrated urban systems. We integrate theories and methods from data science, network science, and engineering.
