I am a cartographer and geographic information scientist. My research interests are mainly in generalization and multiple representation of geospatial data and its illustrations, cartographic design, geometry, and GIS programming.

My current projects include work on flow map generation, discrete global grid systems, augmented reality cartography, and surface analysis and generalization. My work has focussed on generalization algorithm development and cartographic design, and I usually consider these two tied together tightly, such that outputs are well-suited to symbolization. My projects usually result in open-source code meant for both academics and production cartography.

I teach courses in cartography, geographic information systems and science, and GIS software development at ITC, The University of Twente. I have previously taught and worked at The Pennsylvania State University and the University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

If you are a potential graduate student interested in working on any of these or related topics, please feel free to contact me.
