Jianquan (James) is a senior lecturer in the Department of Environmental and Geographical Sciences
at Manchester Metropolitan University and is a tutor for UNIGIS UK.
Jianquan previously held position at
Wuhan University, China. He obtained his Ph.D at the University
of Utrecht and M.Sc at ITC in Netherlands, and his B.Sc. at
Shandong University in China. Before joining MMU, he was
a researcher at AMIDST (Amsterdam institute for Metropolitan
and International Development Studies), Netherlands and NCG
(National Center for Geocomputation), Ireland respectively
for a couple of years.
He has investigated many projects on
geospatial information and applications for regional and urban
planning. His research interests are focused on GIS spatial statistics and geo-simulation; transport and land use interaction; spatial planning support system and urbanisation in China. Currently he is mainly involved
in GIS for socio-econimic applications.
