He has a PhD in Geography and undergraduate degrees in Computer Science (BSc) and Multidiciplinary Informatics (MSc). -Most of his research focuses on the development of computer models that can help to understand social phenomena. He has particular interests in simulations of crime patterns, and in models that can be used to describe the flows of people around cities. - -More recently, he has become in interested in how 'big data', agent-based modelling, and smart cities initiatives can be used to reduce the impacts of problems like pollution or crime. +His research leverages techniques developed in computer science, statistics and machine learning, applying them to critical social problems that have a strong geographical context. He is best known for his work on agent-based modelling (an individual-level simulation approach) and in the development of machine-learning and geographical information science techniques to solve problems in the domains of criminal justice, mobility and health.
