I am an Associate Professor in Spatial Data Science at the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA). This is my research blog.

My primary area of research spans spatial optimisation (i.e. using computational approaches to finding optimal solutions to spatial planning and decision problems), with applications in transportation, medical geography, public safety, and public health. I have been working on the models, solution approaches, and open source software on this field.

I am also interested in GeoAI, which concerns the use of artificial intelligence approaches for geospatial problems.

I integrate a wide range of computational approaches in research, which include deep neural networks, meta-heuristics (eg, genetic algorithms, tabu search), agent-based simulation, and reinforcement learning.

I blog from time to time on a range of different topics. For my posts, please visit here.
