Dynamic and interactive visualisation

Visualisation of spatial and spatio-temporal data has become interactive and is increasingly dynamic. Many challenges related to the technology involved, but also to human-computer interaction are still open and need to be addressed by researchers. Int

Scale issues in spatial analysis and scale-independent representation

It has since long been recognised that the scale is an important issue in spatial analysis. I work on scale issues in the definition of urban and socio-economic clusters, and the impact on the statistical and other analysis of these clusters. My work i

Data mining and modelling of socio-economic data

Socio-economic data of different kinds are increasingly available, from many different data sources. Data are often complex and sometimes unstructured or noisy, and discovering interesting patters is a challenging task. My interests are in methods for

Multi-agent simulation of traffic behaviour and relationship with the urban structure

For my PhD research, I did create a micro-simulation for the traffic behaviour of commuters in the agglomeration of Lausanne (around 300'000 inhabitants). The aim of this traffic simulation was to study the relationship of the mobility behaviour with t
