Research

We investigate how AI can collaborate with planners, support plan-making and decision-making, and facilitate responsible planning automation. Our research also examines human–AI interaction and develops governance frameworks for transparent, accountable, and effective Urban Planning AI.

We study emerging transportation systems—including microtransit, micromobility, electrification, ridesourcing, public transit, and autonomous vehicles—and their effects on travel behavior, accessibility, and urban development. We also use AI-driven methods to evaluate the performance and resilience of mobility systems under climate hazards.

We assess the vulnerability of communities and infrastructure to sea-level rise, hurricanes, extreme precipitation, and other climate hazards. We develop practical strategies for climate action, land-use planning, managed relocation, and long-term community resilience.
