Welcome to my portfolio

I'm currently studying MSc Applied Geoinformatics in Salzburg, Austria, and working as a researcher at the Geo-social Analytics Lab where my main focus is on state-of-the-art Natural Language Processing methods coupled with geospatial analyses. I also currently teach a Bachelor level course on remote sensing and image processing and work on workshop design and spatial data infrastructures in the iDEAS:lab. Recently, I completed a professional certificate "Artificial Intelligence with Python" and have spent several years on WASH and GIS work in a humanitarian context.

Generally, my interests are the creation and automation of geoinformatics tools, platforms, and spatial data infrastructures.

Some projects are shown below. Visit my GitHub for more projects.

My own flask-based, cloud-deployed application for solar estimations

Conference Posters

Creating, dockerizing, deploying a solar estimations platform that integrates near-global meteorological data, modelling capabilities, and data handling.

Scripting a toolbox to link an online EO data cube with a desktop GIS via REST API.

Projects

Lecturing on Geo-AI

In a course for BSc - PhD students, I taught concepts of sentiment analyses, designed a final assignment and exercises.

Natural Language Processing - Custom Labeling App

To fine-tune large language models (LLMs) like RoBERTa or Aspect-Based models on emotion-target extraction, I created a custom cloud hosted labeling app.

School Class Workshop on Sensors to capture the Environment

Sentiment Analysis of Georeferenced Tweets - 2022 Twitter Acquisition

Analysing the changing sentiments around the Twitter takeover in the US.

3D Cartography for a Global Network Dataset

To visualise a network of social media users, I wrote a custom script to extrude and animate an edge bundled network.

Solar Estimations Platform

Building, dockerizing, and deploying a flask-based solar estimations platform for users to explore their home's solar potential at nearly any place in the world.

Scripting a Python AI to Answer Questions (Natural Language Processing)

I created a simple question answering algorithm by pre-processing a corpus of documents and computing Inverse Document Frequency scores, then processing a user's question using Term-Frequency Inverse-Document-Frequency and ranking top documents and top sentences.

Designing a Spatial Database to support a festival app

A python programme for user interaction with a spatial database (via Postgres and psycopg2)

Introducing Visiting Scholars to Google Earth Engine

See the details of an introductory workshop to Google Earth Engine.

Providing GIS Information Products for Refugee Camp Management

Creating urgent GIS information products for decision-making in a refugee camp context

A Python Toolbox for an EO-Data Cube in ArcGIS Pro

Building a prototype python toolbox to connect, interact and load Sen2Cube EO data directly into your ArcGIS Pro map

Burn Ratio with Google Earth Engine

In a hands-on session I helped Bachelor students explore the UN-SPIDER methods for burnt areas.

Interactive OpenLayers Webmap

Building a responsive, Web-Feature-Service centred web map. Used as a central component in school workshops on digital skill building

Pluvial Flood Simulation with DHI MIKE+

Linking theory with practice for a coupled 1D-2D flood modelling approach with MIKE+ and identifying key factors for enhanced usabilitz and user experience

Implementing A Tideman Voting System in C

Designing an algorithm that determines a vote winner in a ranked-choice system through a candidate graph.

Programming Edge Filtering (and more) Algorithms in C

Creating functions to change a *.bmp image's pixel values to either: create a greyscale, reflected, blurred, or edge filtered image.

Hands-On Geoinformatics Workshops for School Classes

One part of my work at the iDEAS:lab includes outreach. Here we get to show and teach young participants all about the world of geoinformatics!

Hobby Project: Prototypes for a new Workshop

For a potential future workshop element, I spend some out-of-work hours assembling little sensor-equipped robots.

Propositional Logic for Knowledge-based Agent to Solve Minesweeper

Writing a programme that implements propositional logic in which an agent makes decisions by considering a knowledge base.

Mapping Coordination among NGOs

Setting up a coordinated mapping system among NGOs in a refugee camp (QGIS, Postgres database, induction and training to NGO partners, map and DB maintenance)

Natural Language Processing

Creating a programme to pre-process and parse text, and generate sets of noun phrases.

Solar Radiation Analysis

A yearly and seasonal solar irradiance analysis with ArcGIS Pro, identifying maximum solar energy potential locations.

Co-Organising a GeoHumanitarian Special Forum at ISDE 2021 Conference

In one of two main organisational roles, an assembly of 34 conference speakers and panelists from over 12 countries to discuss current and future geo-humanitarian trends.

Bias Detection in Machine Learning

Using aequitas as a bias detection tool, an analysis was performed on an ML algorithm in a justice system.

Tutoring: ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, Google Earth Engine

Designing and conducting various hands-on exercises and assignments on remote sensing and image analysis.
