Christian Kray

Professor Christian Kray holds the Professorship for Geoinformatics at the University of Münster’s Institute of Computer Science. His work focuses on advancing geospatial technologies, including GIS usability, location privacy, and immersive data environments. He leads research in spatial data analysis, navigation systems, and participatory urban planning. His recent studies address challenges in pandemic management, agent-based modeling, and the ethical implications of location-based services. Kray’s interdisciplinary approach bridges computer science, urban studies, and human-computer interaction.

Research interests include: Geoinformatics applications, spatial data quality, LBS design, and immersive visualization techniques. Notable projects involve developing gesture-based interfaces for map interaction and testing compliance with public health interventions in virtual environments.

Publications emphasize reproducibility in geoscience, usability evaluation of WebGIS tools, and the societal impact of open data policies in smart cities. His work often integrates field studies with computational models to address real-world spatial challenges.
