Meet the FCL Team & Sister Labs
I’m a Ph.D. student in the School of City and Regional Planning. Dr. Clio Andris is my advisor. My research interest is in Network Science, Transportation, and Land Use Planning. Before coming to Georgia Tech, I was a Regional Planner at Siouxland Interstate Metropolitan Planning Council, where I focused on GIS, transportation, community, and economic development.
Hi! I'm a third-year Computer Science student with concentrations in Media and People. My interests in CS lie mainly in data analysis and visualization, with a trend towards scientific and political data. In the Friendly Cities Lab, I'm studying the patterns and effects of politicians on the American political sphere.
I’m a first-year CS Ph.D. student in the School of Interactive Computing, advised by Dr. Clio Andris. My research interests include Visualization, Geographic Information System/Science and Social Computing. Before coming to Georgia Tech, I got my bachelor degree in GIS from Zhejiang University. I also worked at the Natural Language Processing Lab of Tsinghua University and the Visualization and Interface Design Innovation Lab of UC Davis as a research assistant. I had worked on multiple geospatial visualization projects, including infectious diseases spread analysis, patterns of taxi trajectories analysis. I am also involved in some text visual analytics projects, such as rumor spread analysis and conversation structure analysis. You can follow my work on my website.
I’m a Computer Science major with concentrations in Computing Theory and Modelling and Simulation. I joined Georgia Tech from Chennai, India. I’m also enrolled in the BS/MS program in Computer Science - Machine Learning. I’m currently working on node placement methods for geospatial network analysis and geovisualization.
I am a Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) Master’s student. My research interests involve Network Science, Social Computing, and Urban Systems. I received my bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Chicago in (2022). Between my undergraduate and graduate studies, I served with AmeriCorps and taught a supplementary algebra class at two Chicago public high schools.
I am an associate professor in the School of City and Regional Planning and the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech. I'm a GIScientist, which means that I study how to represent and model anything on earth on a computer and how to analyze those models. My research is in social networks, interpersonal relationships and livelihoods in geographic space, applied to issues in urban planning, geovisualization, and geography. Our lab is a member of the School of Interactive Computing's Information Visualization Lab. I received my PhD from MIT in 2011 in Urban Information Systems where I was an NDSEG fellow and member of the Senseable City Lab. I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Santa Fe Institute (2012-2014) and a member of the faculty in the Department of Geography at Penn State (2014-2019). I serve on the National Geospatial Advisory Committee for the U.S. Department of Interior. I also direct the Masters of GIS program at GT.
I’m a Master’s student in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE). My research interests include geospatial data modeling, simulation, and visualization. Before coming to Georgia Tech, I received my bachelor's degree in Geographic Information Science (GIS) and worked as an undergraduate research assistant at Nanjing Normal University. With an interdisciplinary background, I expect to develop various GIS applications to enhance our understanding of the spatial information in our everyday lives.
