My research is highlighed with a page feature in the Spring/Summer issue of ASU's "Social Sciences at ASU" magazine: "ASU geographer's model predicts crowd behavior" (July 28, 2008) |
|
France Telecom's Orange Labs in Silicon Valley invited me to visit and give a talk on geosimulation (July 9, 2008) |
|
I was invited to visit Microsoft and to give a talk on "behavioral geography and urban simulation" (June 23, 2008) |
|
GIS Professional Magazine has a write-up on my research as part of their coverage of Where 2.0 in the August issue (June 8, 2008) |
|
I just gave a talk, on "Modeling crowd behavior", to ~1,000 people at Where 2.0 in Silicon Valley, sandwiched between the Director of Google Earth and Google Maps, the president of ESRI, and the Director of Technology for Autodesk Geospatial. O'Reilly have a video of the talk here, and James Duncan Davidson took a really great photo of me on-stage. I also had an installation in the Where Fair, showing-off my work on Wi-Fi geographies. (May 13, 2008) |
|
My white paper forecasts on geospatial technologies for the Institute for the Future's X2: The Future of Science and Innovation are now accessible Online. There are ten of them: I have placed links here (May 1, 2008) |
|
I was recognized with an award from the President and Director of the Association of American Geographers, at the AAG Awards Luncheon in Boston, in recognition of my NSF CAREER grant from 2007 (April 19, 2008) |
