Hi there πŸ‘‹ I'm Andy MacLachlan

πŸ“– About me

  • I'm an Associate Professor in spatial data science and visualisation at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA), University College London.
  • My expertise lies in remote sensing, although in recent years this has expanded to any project using spatial data and geographical information science.
  • R is my language of choice, but i also use PostGIS and Google Earth Engine

"A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one"

πŸ‘¨β€πŸ« Teach

I supervise doctoral researchers, MSc students and lead two MSc modules:

I run CASA's MSc Urban Spatial Science programme

πŸ”Ž Research

My research revovles around developing data-driven urban development recommendations to enhance future sustainability and optimise resource investment. This has included work on Urban Heat Islands and more recently water accessibility in Tanzania using PostGIS.

If it's not applied, i'm not interested.
