Research
Geodata is the basis for numerous applications. However, it must go through several processing steps in order to be useful in practice. For example, the level of detail of a data set must be adapted to the scale of an analysis. Often objects have to be grouped and combined into larger units and geometrically simplified. Similar processes are required when generating legible maps from geospatial data. In my research, I am concerned with creating mathematical models for these tasks and developing efficient algorithms for their solution.
Selected works on spatial analysis and visualization are presented on our research pages.
