Join the Department of Social Sciences for this Great Problems, Great Minds seminar featuring Li Yin, associate professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. The event will take place on April 29 from 12:40-1:40 p.m.

Li Yin will discuss her research, which combines the use of applied 3S — Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), and Global Positioning System (GPS) — with artificial intelligence (AI) based simulation models and analytics, such as agent-based models (ABM) and machine learning. She uses this framework to explore the dynamics and complexity underlying the patterns of amenity and preference for the investigation of how people interact with places for better health and quality of life.

Yin is an associate professor in the Department of Urban and Regional Planning at the University at Buffalo, The State University of New York. She is also a senior research fellow in the Center for Urban Studies and a member of the National Center for Geographic Information Analysis
