I'm part of the exciting new graduate program in urban data science at NYU, studying how to make cities more resilient, livable, and, above all, more efficient. I come at this new field with a background in consulting, data analysis, and computer science. I look forward to the challenges of creating a new field of study that blends sophisticated technological methods with the theoretical frameworks of how cities and the people that live in them behave. My hope is to apply skills in compiling, managing, and querying large sets of data to help policymakers and other elected officials make data-driven decisions improving the lives of all urban residents.
