ZAGAL FLORES, ROBERTO ESWART

I am passionate about interdisciplinary research in Geospatial Data Science and regional urban phenomena. I am the founder and head of the Urban Data Laboratory (UrbanDataLab) at the School of Computer Science of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (ESCOM-IPN), a research group dedicated to studying urban problems through Urban Artificial Intelligence systems, urban sensing technologies, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I conduct my research in collaboration with renowned international scholars, including Dr. Christophe Claramunt. I am also a Level-1 Member of the Mexican National System of Researchers (SNII) and a professor at ESCOM-IPN.

My research areas include applications of Urban AI, Big Data, data integration, and regional analysis of issues such as crime, migration, air quality, walkability and urban infrastructure, and urban conflicts.

I have served as a Software Designer in projects for the Mexican Government and major IT companies for five years. I have developed projects in Data Science, Big Data, Machine Learning, GIS, web applications, and data architecture for the Mexican Government, Honeywell Mexico, Motorola Mexico, and the electronic invoicing industry.

I hold a Ph.D. in Advanced Technology, a Master’s degree in Computer Science, and a Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering from the Instituto Politécnico Nacional.
