Home Base
Moin! I am fascinated by all kinds of (geo-)spatial data and the phenomena behind it and try to make the world a little easier to understand for myself and for others. My main areas of interest certainly include the exploration of urban space, especially mobility matters. In terms of methodology, I have been particularly interested in the modelling of spatial phenomena in recent years.
