Hello!

I am an equity-driven urban researcher and data analyst dedicated to alleviating the systemic conditions that perpetuate poverty. I have collaborated with nonprofits, local governments, academic institutions, and technology companies to address disparities in public safety, health, housing, education, and economic mobility.

As Associate Director of the Center for Urban Research, I collaborate with the City of Atlanta to measure and evaluate the city's place-based neighborhood revitalization strategy. Inspired by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s vision of the "Beloved Community," my work integrates social justice principles, data-driven policymaking, and community engagement to support neighborhood flourishing.

I have a Ph.D. in Information Science from the University of Washington, a Master's in Computer Science from Georgia Institute of Technology, and a Bachelor of Science in Economics from Duke University. For research publications, please see my Google Scholar page. For speaking engagements, collaborations, and consulting, please email me at ichordia3[at]gatech.edu.
