Unchitta Kan — Presidential Scholar and Ph.D. Candidate, Computational Social Science

I bridge interdisciplinary areas of study such as computational modeling, urban sociology, geography/GIS, demography, and public policy to investigate social and population dynamics that make cities distinctive, resilient, and successful. My PhD work focuses on social interaction in cities as a building block of what shapes cities and the life outcomes of people within.

I am also passionate about applying complex systems thinking and my research experience to aid urban policymaking and urban planning. It is my goal to help make cities more livable and equitable.
