In the Texas A&M Institute of Data Science Design & Analytics Lab for Urban Artificial Intelligence<\/a>, led by Xinyue Ye, the Adams Endowed Associate Professor of Urban Planning, scholars will also develop and support public, open-source software that can be used by urban planners to increase communities\u2019 infrastructure efficiency and resilience to natural hazards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ye is one of the scholars<\/a> at the forefront of establishing digital twins of cities and regions and exploring how the concept can be translated into widespread reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lab includes Galen Newman, head of the Department of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning<\/a>, faculty from the Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station, the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, the College of Engineering, the College of Arts and Sciences, and Texas A&M at Galveston\u2019s Department of Marine and Coastal Environmental Science.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
