Dr. Emre Tepe<\/a> joined the URP Department in Fall 2019 as an Assistant Professor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Tepe is an expert at modeling urban land development over geographic space and time. His work incorporates econometrics, statistics, big data, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. His modeling<\/a> is able to capture the impacts of existing and historical neighborhood conditions of parcels with high accuracy. This suggests the models are valuable for forecasting future land-use changes. He also builds statistical software and applications for large-scale data processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
