Summary
Esra's research is focused on the use of emerging sources of digital data for characterising urban environmental features and exposures. She is mainly interested in regular monitoring of socio-economic status, housing quality, and transport characteristics in urban areas at high spatial resolution.
She works with street level images, high resolution sattelite data, and mobile phone data. Methodologically, she is interested in integrating data-driven, a.k.a. machine learning, and hypothesis-driven models to leverage strengths of both the new digital (e.g. large scale continuous, low-cost) and traditional (e.g. semantically rich) data sources.
