Hi, I'm Bianchi, a research scientist and an artist. I am currently a Research Assistant at the Meta-Design Lab, Spatial Networks Lab, and the SUTD-MIT International Design Centre, all located at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. Broadly speaking, I am interested in urban data science – the possibilities and limitations of using technology and data to help people better understand the workings of cities, and how this can improve processes in urban planning and design. I also love drawing people and urban environments.
