Urban Research Seminar

The NYU Urban Initiative presents Professor Fabio Miranda as the next speaker in a line up of eminent international scholars for  Urban Research Seminar.  This event series is open to the greater NYU community in an effort to integrate NYU's faculty and students with a keen interest in cities.

Dr. Miranda is Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science at University of Illinois at Chicago. He is interested in developing techniques that allow for the interactive visual analysis of large-scale data, combining methods from visualization, data management, machine learning, and computer graphics. In particular, he focuses on how visual data analytics can help address different problems cities face by integrating data on different resolutions and from different sources. He has worked closely with domain experts from different fields and the outcome of these collaborations included not only research published in visualization, database, and artificial intelligence venues, but also systems that were made available to experts in academia, industry, and government agencies.
