Dylan Connor

Dylan Connor is an Associate Professor at Arizona State University's School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning, and a CASBS Fellow at Stanford University. His research focuses on computational social science, spatial inequality, urban development, and climate hazards. He examines how places shape economic inequality, social mobility, and population health, leveraging large-scale datasets and machine learning frameworks.

Key research areas include the geography of intergenerational mobility, 'left behind places' in the U.S., and spatial wealth inequality through the GEOWEALTH-US project. His work bridges historical demography, urban planning, and environmental justice, with a focus on data-driven solutions for equitable communities.

• Core faculty at the Spatial Analysis Research Center (SPARC), Arizona State University
• Recipient of the 2023-2024 Faculty Excellence in Mentorship and Teaching Award
• Publications in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Science Advances, and Demography

His interdisciplinary collaborations address urban climate risks, digital twins, and historical migration patterns. He emphasizes data infrastructure to study long-term demographic and spatial trends, aiming to inform policy and urban sustainability.
