Project portfolio

RESEARCH ASSOCIATE AT NEWCASTLE UNIVERSITY (UK)

This is an overview of my various GIS-related projects, including: Enhancing static hazard maps with dynamic (near-) real-time information, using digital twin technology to support operational response, assessing the impact of heavy rainfall on the transport network and estimating the cost of travel, integrating location-based social media text, and analysing social media images using AI-based computer-vision algorithms to better support incident management.

Geospatial data infrastructure for disaster management

I was invited as a keynote speaker to present my work how geospatial data infrastructure can support multi-agencies in incident manegment.

AI-based computer vision algorithms for hazard reporting

This project demonstrates how we can use AI-based computer vision algorithms and text generation to extract information about the impact of hazards from openly available images.

Integrating multi-scale real-time data

As part of my research visit at CURA at The Ohio State University, I gave a webinar in which I presented several use cases for integrating (near) real-time data for incident management.

Transport impact assessment

Following a severe autumn storm, this work analyses the impact of heavy rainfall on the transport network, including travel time and traffic volume, using real-time data.

Dynamic hazard maps

This project shows how the hazard maps currently available can be enhanced with real-time traffic data and social media tweets to provide a better picture for emergency services. 

Developing a geodatabase

This project presents a multi-scale database for analysing the impacts of flooding on the environment, community and infrastructure in Newcastle (UK).

Civil security

As part of a hackathon, my team developed an app for the German Red Cross containing publicly available data on vulnerabilities (e.g. demographic and socio-economic data) to support the German Red Cross in emergencies.

Real-time probe vehicle data

Using real-time data from probe vehicles in Japan, we analyse traffic behaviour during natural hazards compared to a normal day. The results are implemented in a GIS-based decision support tool.

Multi-criteria decision support

In the context of broadband expansion in Germany, I was involved in a project with an industry partner to identify expansion areas according to different criteria. The result is a GIS model for multi-criteria decision support.
