The Weitzman School Presents: Esteban Lopez Ochoa

On March 21, 2024, the Master of Urban Spatial Analytics program welcomed Esteban Lopez Ochoa for a lecture titled "Leveling the Field: Combining Proprietary Micro-Level Data with Machine Learning Methods for Housing Justice Research."
Ochoa is an assistant professor of urban and regional planning and the associate director of the Sustainable Pervasive Urban Resilience (SPUR) Center at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). His research seeks to take advantage of the wider availability of “bigger” data to examine housing, economic development, and environmental issues that contribute to the unjust burden of spatial inequities in our communities, both in the U.S. and Latin American contexts.
