Jorge Gil

Associate Professor at Urban Design and Planning

Associate Professor in Urban Analytics and Informatics at the Department of Architecture and Civil Enginnering. 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. These are applied 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 with a user centred approach, including spatial analysis, network analysis, machine learning and visualisation methods. The research follows an open science approach leveraging the potential of open data and, open source, and open access.
Jorge teaches GIS, sustainable mobility, and spatial data science in various courses, and is involved in Bachelor, Masters and PhD supervision.
