Boris Dev
BioBoris Dev is a Research Associate and Ph.D. Candidate in the joint program between the Department of Geography at San Diego State University and University of California of Santa Barbara. Research Specialty: His research deals with developing new computational ways of analyzing how patterns on maps change over time. A result of this research, it is hoped, will be the creation of new ways for people to explore information that can be mapped, leveraging the power of combining computers and geographic data. All presentation of Boris's research results will be based on the open-source model of being transperant for others to understand and modify, and available for free. Research Interests: Exploratory analysis of geographic data with a current focus in the geographies of disease, economic growth and poverty. Geovisualization is a major component of this research. Peripheral interests: The role of geography in the history and philosophy of science. The geographies of food, indegenous peoples, language, war, mountain regions for climbing and snowboarding. Proposed Dissertation TitleExploratory Data Analysis of Change in Human Geography: Some new methods in open-source geocomputation ProjectsMember of the following REGAL projects: STARS, PySAL.
