Gevorg Yeghikyan
Data Science Ph.D. Student (Cycle 33)
Bio:
Gevorg Yeghikyan is currently a PhD candidate in the Data Science PhD program held by Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, Univeristà di Pisa, CNR, IMT Lucca and Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna. Gevorg graduated from the Städelschule Architecture Class with a Master's degree in Urban Planning in 2017. With the aim of extending his research into data-driven urban planning and smart city applications, he then started his PhD under the supervision of Mirco Nanni, Andrea Passarella, and Marco Conti.
Research Interest:
His research revolves around urban informatics and mobility through the lens of spatial machine learning and complex networks. In particular, his research project aims to disentangle the relationship between urban mobility and urban socio-economic attributes. In other words, he aims to formulate and find answers to such questions as why and how people move, and whether one can predict mobility given spatial socio-economic attributes in a city, or vice versa.
