Research Title

Big Data driven Megacity Insights Platform

Megacities provide many opportunities that stem from the density of the economic and social interactions between people, goods, and services, but also pose significant challenges for the city government and the city dwellers. The challenges and vulnerabilities range from the provision of a sustainable core infrastructure in transportation, health, education, public safety, and economic development to the innovative design of replicable and equitable social services to reduce socio-economic, cultural and political disparities and disharmony. The aim of this project is to build a Big Data driven Megacity Insights Platform (Mega-Insights) that can support researchers and policymakers to gain significant insights from emerging and frequent patterns, trends and predictions to proactively plan and respond to the important challenges of urban sustainability, through data pipelining and advanced analytics based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning technologies. 

I did not use the HPC for these work but the projects are relevant.
