Role in Network

Academic - Researcher

COSNet Research Themes

3. Dynamics and Statistics of Multi-Scale Systems
4. Network Theory
5. Cellular Automata, Agent-Based Modelling and Simulation

COSNet Application Areas

3. Complex Computational Systems
4. Complex Socio-Economic Systems

 

Research Topics

I'm working on complex adaptive spatial systems, with a strong emphasis on urban systems. Cellular automata, networks and agent-based models are the main tools I use to investigate these systems, within a more global approach combining geovisualisation, geocomputation and geosimulation.
