Meet the editors

Jorge Rocha achieved his MSc in Geographic Information Systems (2003) and in Spatial Planning (2013), and PhD in Geographic Information Science (2012). He is currently an Assistant Professor of the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning and a member of the Modelling, Urban and Regional Planning, and Environmental Hazard and Risk Assessment and Management research groups of the Centre of Geographical Studies, University of Lisbon. His

field of expertise is geosimulation and geocomputation involving artificial neural networks, graphs theory, cellular automata, and multi-agent systems. Jorge's works are quite diverse, focusing mainly on, but not exclusively, in urban morphology, remote sensing, epidemiology, health geography, smart cities and big data.

Sandra Oliveira is a researcher for the Centre for Geographical Studies, in the Institute of Geography and Spatial Planning. She graduated in Geography from the University of Coimbra and has a MSc in Environmental Sciences from the University of Wollongong (Australia) and a Ph.D. in Forest and Natural Resources Engineering at the School of Agriculture of the University of Lisbon. She started as a Scientific Officer at the Joint Research Centre-EC

in Italy, working in the European Forest Fire Information System (EFFIS). She works in environmental risk assessment and geographic information systems (GIS) and her main interests are in climatic risks, wildfires, forest protection and biodiversity. She is currently focused on spatial modelling and vulnerability assessment of vector-borne diseases.

César Capinha has a PhD in Environmental Sciences, a MSc in Geographic Information Systems and Territorial Modelling Applied to Planning, and a Degree in Geography. He is a Research Fellow at the Centre for Geographical Studies (Uni. of Lisbon). César works at the interface between biogeography and biological invasions, looking into how biogeographical patterns are being modified by human-mediated dispersal of species and by other

manifestations of global change, such as climate change. César is also very interested in the application and improvement of machine learning and statistical models for ecological modelling, particularly in predicting the risk of invasion by introduced species and in real-time modelling of ecological and epidemiological phenomena.
