Our Mission - The UrGA research lab is dedicated to investigating cities and human dynamics in urban environments. We develop and apply cutting-edge geospatial techniques, machine learning/artificial intelligence, network science, and visual analytical methods in the pursuit of a deeper understanding of the interactions between human dynamics and the intricate fabric of urban social, infrastructural, and public health subsystems. The UrGA research leverages a diverse array of location-based big data sources, complemented by traditional GIS and RS data products, to examine spatial patterns and relationships and to develop predictive models based on complex relationships. Our Projects • Human mobility and spatial interactions • E-mobility – developing a smart and scalable network of EV charging stations • Spatiotemporal patterns • Public health and the association with geographic context factors • Measuring health disparity Related Courses ● Geog4370/6370 Intro to GIScience ● Geog4470/6470 Spatial Statistics ● Geog4595/6595 Intro to Machine Learning ● Geog 4380/6380 Transportation Modeling and GIS ● Geog 8350 Seminar in GeoAI ● Geog 8572 Seminar in Urban Data Science Contact Information UrGA Director: Dr. Angela Yao xyao@uga.edu
