Projects & Networks:
My research interest concerns the use and implemetation of Geographical Information Systems and the theoretical aspects of this (Geographical Information Science GISc). At IDA/LiU we have research on several activities concerning Information technologies and GIS. Some application areas are within Environment and Health and introduction of IT/GIS for monitoring disease patterns and analyse them with respect o geographic, demographic and socioeconomic factors as well as different environmental impact as metals, radiation and chemicals. The research also involves communication and transfer of information between people, as well as organisations and the development of supporting structures. In international projects we study how IT/GIS can improve Healthcare and Emergency management. We are members of Association of Geographical Laboratories in Europe – AGILE and the network of Excellence – GMOSS with the focus on developing IT support for response to humanitarian crises. In projects concerning Ambulance care and rescue services we have the focus on mobile IT/GIS that is sustainable also in case of major catastrophes. .
