I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urban Planning and Spatial Analysis at USC's Sol Price School of Public Policy. I received my Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from the University of California, Berkeley and completed a postdoc in Berkeley's Urban Analytics Lab. Prior to USC, I was an Assistant Professor at Northeastern University. My research revolves around city planning, urban form, and data science. Recent projects have focused on 1) the nature and character of urban street networks around the world and 2) how technology platforms and data availability shape our understanding of housing affordability. I developed and maintain the OSMnx street network modeling software and I have served as a consultant for various planning, policymaking, and public health organizations.
