Profile
Building from a background in urban planning and geographical information science, my work focus on issues of spatial organization associated with the behaviour and mobility of human. I am particularly interested in the modalities of spatial operations of transportation and communication networks and of their articulation with their surrounding regions, in technologies and policies that frame these modalities, and in the socio-economic implications on the regional context. An understanding of the complexity and dynamics of new modalities of spatial interaction is suitably gained with new computational techniques of exploratory spatial data analysis and artificial intelligence.
