Here on our campus, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Dr. Mina Sartipi is the founding director of the Center for Urban Informatics and Progress.

The center develops data-driven approaches to tackle real-world challenges for “smart cities” - among them, mobility, energy and health.

Dr. Sartipi is also a member of UTC’s computer science faculty - and she has a joint appointment with Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
