In what ways can emerging AI-driven technologies transform our daily lives? How can innovative technologies impact the creation of resilient, equitable, sustainable, safe, and smart communities?

Our research team is committed to leveraging artificial intelligence to devise innovative solutions that enhance community health, equity, sustainability, and safety in urban areas. The objective is to engage community stakeholders alongside university staff, students, and faculty, effectively bridging academic resources with broader community needs. The team adopts a holistic approach to the application of AI, which is shaped by diverse ecological, social, cultural, and economic forces across various scales, from individual buildings to expansive urban projects. Our research theme is broad, encompassing issues such as community environmental pollution, transportation, energy efficiency, and decarbonization. These projects provide students with the opportunity to address complex challenges through creative research partnerships and entrepreneurship.
