CEAR Hub undergraduate students Prasun Banerjee and Ananya Shetty have been announced as winners of the 2024 SECOORA Data Challenge! Their project, "Predicting Financial Risk from Flood Damages: A Quantitative Approach Incorporating Urban Infrastructural Measures," aims to build a flood risk management model for the City of Tybee Island, GA. The work will integrate economic, infrastructure, climate, and water level data with advanced statistical models to improve economic risk prediction from flood-related damages.
Both Banerjee and Shetty are undergraduate students in Computer Science at Georgia Tech. Since August 2024, they have been working with Dr. Russ Clark and Kait Morano as part of an undergraduate research team implementing processes to ensure the quality and reliability of data from our network of water level sensors.
