"This geospatial stuff is going to get bigger, faster than
anybody thinks."
Kevin Kelly, former WIRED editor
"Maps become a user interface to many things
[...]
Geography is another way, a different way, to organise
information."
Financial Times 21.5.2008
"Essentially, all models are wrong but some are useful."
George Box
"We have to do better at producing tools to support the whole research cycle—from data capture and data curation to data analysis and data visualization."
Jim Gray 2007
"Data and information flow will be far more valuable than hardware and software."

- Spatial Information Research Projects
- PhD (on request):
I am offering to supervise research projects in the area of
spatial human-computer interaction, spatio-temporal data mining, geographic information retrieval, intelligent
transportation systems and in the general area of geographic
information science -- if you are interested in a PhD under my supervision have a look at my publications and relate to my interests.
