RESEARCH

Spatial Cognition

I am particularly interested in the way people interact with geospatial technologies.

Geovisualization

My research also focuses on methods for dynamically representing geographic data.

Spatiotemporal Data Modeling

Going beyond the classic 3D+1 data modeling (Space+Time) by focusing on a 4D integrated approach (Space-Time).

Data Intelligibility

Helping citizens to better understand big data is a social and technical challenge that our community should address.

Collective Intelligence

My research promotes generative models of (geospatial) collective intelligence.

Open Innovation

I am exploring new methodologies for engaging people in the process of innovation as early as possible (e.g. Living labs).
