Callie is an Urban Systems Ph.D. Candidate at New York University’s
Tandon School of Engineering in the Civil & Urban Engineering Department. She is a Research Fellow at both the
Center for Urban Data Science + Progress
and the
Marron Institute. Callie is co-advised by Dr. Constantine Kontokosta at the
Urban Intelligence Lab
and Dr. Takahiro Yabe at the
Resilient Urban Networks Lab. She is also a National Science Foundation (NSF) 2020
Graduate Research Fellow.
Callie earned an Masters of Science in Systems Engineering
and a Bachelors in Civil and Environmental Engineering from UC Berkeley. Prior to graduate school, she worked as a data
analyst at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in the Building Technology and Urban Systems Division.
Callie’s research examines segregation in activity spaces
and neighborhood dynamics, with a focus on how access to
public infrastructure shapes the diversity of social interactions. She approaches her research from a complex systems
perspective, using network science and mobility data, overlaid with the physical urban infrastructure to gain
insight on how the built environment, like transit, public spaces, EV charging stations, and emergency food access, impacts the social environment, with the overarching goal to create better informed government policy
and urban design.
