Dr. Roy conducts interdisciplinary research relevant to planning smarter, resilient and safer cities using a data-driven approach. She leads efforts in developing machine learning and statistical models for urban planners by capturing spatio-temporal patterns from “big data” collected via disparate platforms like crowdsourced apps, remotely sensed data, LiDAR and GIS platforms. Her research facilitates policymaking from a bottom-up approach by leveraging data science methodologies with geography and urban planning.

Avipsa Roy is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urban Planning and Public Policy at UCI’s School of Social Ecology and leads the STANCE Lab. She completed her Ph.D. in Computational Spatial Science at Arizona State University. She also holds a Masters’ degree in Geoinformatics from the University of Muenster, Germany and a Bachelors’ degree in Computer Science from the University of Calcutta, India. Dr. Roy’s professional experience spans across both the industry and academia with active collaborations with IBM Research as well as the U.S. Department of Energy labs including Los Alamos National Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
