Jorge Gil
Associate Professor in Urban Analytics and Informatics in the Department of Architecture and Civil Enginnering, Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden. His primary research focus is on the conceptualisation and development of integrated urban models applied to digital urban planning research and practice, in the context of Smart Cities, City Information Modelling (CIM) and Urban Digital Twins. He applies data science, spatial analysis, network analysis, machine learning and visualisation methods in the domains of sustainable mobility of people and goods, social inclusion, liveability, energy transition, and circular economy. He develops GIS and geo-database solutions leveraging the potential of open data and open source, adopting an open science approach. Jorge earned in 2016 a PhD in Urbanism from the TU Delft, in 2000 a MSc in Virtual Environments from the Bartlett, UCL, and in 1996 a Bachelor in Architecture from the University of Lisbon. Jorge teaches GIS, sustainable mobility, and data science in various courses, and is involved in master and PhD supervision at Chalmers. He has taught Spatial Decision Support Systems in the MSc Geomatics at TU Delft, between 2015 and 2018. Has expertise in PostGIS, QGIS, Python, R, shell, SQL, C++, VB, javascript, VRML, 2D/3D graphics, interaction design (UI and UX).
