The goal of the Geoinformatics Lab is to develop innovative computational methods for modeling, analysing and simulating human geo-spatial behavior. The focus is on

  • processes using spatial cognition such as geographic space appropriation, perception and wayfinding
  • dynamic complex systems such as multi-modal transportation networks

Such human-environment interactions may best be understood using a bottom-up perspective, ie. through implementing generative models while at the same time corroborating the usefulness of the models by analysing using a top-down perspective. We are currently exploring several methodologies, i.e., we work with agent-based modelling, geosimulation, classical spatio-temporal analysis, GIS models and extensions as well as GeoAI-methods.

Female convents in early modern Mexico (project)

For the reconstruction of three female convents in the city of Oaxaca, Mexico, Prof Timpf collects geodata together with a group of geoinformatics and geography students with expertise in GIS, surveying, CAD, photogrammetry and drone flight. The project was initiated by Dr. Franziska Neff from the UNAM in Mexico in collaboration with Dr. Pia Heberer from the institute of computer science as well as given support by Prof. Theo Ungerer.

Discoveries aren't made by one person exploring by themselves. And discoveries aren't made overnight. People don't see the thousands of hours that go into it.
