Prescriptive modeling to guide policies for resilient and sustainable urban growth.
-
-
Location Big Data Analytics for Disaster Response
-
Analysis of population displacement and recovery after shocks (e.g. disasters, pandemics) using mobile phone location data, social media data, and satellite imagery.
-
Causal impact estimation of shocks on business performances using mobility data.
-
-
