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 spatial statistics,
spatial analysis and modelling, spatial deicison-making support
