Research interests
Dr Wolf's research for The Alan Turing Institute revolves around using machine learning to bound and link cities using new forms of data. The work examines how areas in which we live and work might not overlap well with the boundaries of city governments or federal agencies. By understanding where the formal city stops, we can gain a better understanding of urban areas that are left out of formal infrastructure, development, governance, and analysis areas.
