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.
I'm a MSCS with a few years of professional experience working on data pipelines, cloud deployments, and systems support at Walmart and Oracle. My main interest in CS (outside work!) lies in large data analysis, particularly on social phenomena. At the Friendly Cities Lab, I've had the pleasure of working on the frontend visualization for our website, as well as some of the backend data processing flows.
My name is Anushka Chowdhury, and I'm an undergraduate computer science student at Georgia Tech with a concentration in Intelligence and Info-Internetworks. I'm particularly interested in data analysis in multi-disciplinary fields, especially in GIS and healthcare.
I am a graduate student in the MS-GIST program at Georgia Tech. I have a foundational background in Landscape Architecture and I now focus on leveraging GIS and spatial data science to solve complex urban challenges. I am particularly interested in regional planning and the intersection of technology, community well-being, and spatial analytics.
I’m a MS CS student with over five years of professional experience developing aerospace and data systems at organizations such as NASA JPL, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Northrop Grumman Space. At Georgia Tech, I've contributed to the Legislative Congruence project within the Friendly Cities Lab. I've also had the privilege of serving as a Regional Finance Chair for the National Society of Black Engineers and co-founded Tech Blast Off, an initiative that has provided free aerospace-inspired STEM workshops to more than 100 students.
Hi! I'm a fourth-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 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 have a master's degree in Computational Science and Engineering (CSE) from GT and am currently a PhD student in the School of City & Regional Planning. 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 undergraduate Computer Science student at Georgia Tech in the BS/MS program. I'm interested in anything in the fields of GIS, data visualization and analysis, and spatial technology.
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 and I also conduct research in the subfield of social network analysis and geovisualization. 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).
