Simon Scheider is an assistant professor in geographic information science at the Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning at Utrecht University. His research lies at the interface between conceptual modeling, geographic data analysis and knowledge extraction. He is particularly interested in understanding the concepts underlying spatio-temporal data, including reference systems, fields, places, spatial objects, events, trajectories and their relationship to human activities, and in practical methods for modeling and handling them with GIS and semantic technology.
In Exposome-NL, Simon contributes in the context of the generalization of geocomputational exposure models as well as agent-based models to assess the impact of preventive health strategies.
