The Sixth Spatial Data Science Symposium UC Hub

We invite the Geospatial community to attend the upcoming Sixth Spatial Data Science Symposium.  To learn how to submit a poster or presentation to SDSS 2025 UC hub, go to: https://geospatial.ac.nz/sixth-spatial-data-science-symposium/

SDSS2025 is a distributed/online symposium. Participants are welcome to join one of the symposium hubs distributed around the world. Groups of participants will meet at these hubs to present and discuss with other participants both in person and online. The UC local hub will convey at the University of Canterbury in the Ernest Rutherford building, room 263 from 1-4pm on Thursday 4th of December and from 9:45am to 12:15 on December 5th to participate in the activities listed below:

Keynote Speaker:

Bio:
I am primarily a highly interdisciplinary Data Scientist interested in understanding complex dynamical systems, by analysing their high frequency outputs/data, from which we might be able to infer their intrinsic mechanisms. Most of my research to date has involved studying the role of turbulence in the atmosphere, but recent advances in neurosciences have highlighted the fact the brain signals, can also be studied using methods applied to turbulent motion in fluids. Therefore, I have recently been interested in mapping brain signals, as obtained for example by an EEG, to spatial context – in a geographic sense.
