Research interests
I love maps, and my research focuses on the visualisation of geospatial data. I combine cartography, computer graphics, immersive visualisation, and human-computer interaction. My research activities currently focus on
- virtual reality and augmented reality applied to geospatial data,
- outdoor augmented reality, storytelling and immersive analytics with geospatial data,
- adaptive composite map projections for digital maps and virtual reality,
- the representation of terrain in 2D and 3D, and
- algorithms and methods for the design of thematic maps, such as flow maps and dot maps.
Supervision interests
I am looking for students who want to create new types of visualisations by combining immersive visualisation, computer graphics, augmented and virtual reality, cartography, geovisualisation, and geographic information science.
