Biography

I am a GIScience researcher dedicated to understanding the evolution of spatial data and analysis, geospatial modeling and technology, and visualization of geospatial information. I am exclusively interested in geodatabases, land-use models, decision making based on multi-criteria analysis and spatial decision support systems. My current research focuses on spatial statistical techniques and assessment of spatially explicit uncertainty and sensitivity analysis.
