Researches in the
GeoComputing Laboratory have to do with the development of computational
algorithms and integrated systems for the process, analysis,
simulation, modeling, and visualization of complex geoinformation as
well as their applications. The objective is to provide innovative,
effective, and efficient solutions to complex problems and better
decision-making support with computational scientific approaches, especially
in sophisticated engineering, ecological, and environmental
applications. The research topics can be loosely grouped into two categories
as listed below. You are also welcome to take a look at the list
of research projects.
