Felix Kunde

Felix Kunde is a Researcher at the Beuth University of Applied Sciences Berlin, contributing to the ExCELL and MAGDa projects. He holds a Bachelor's degree in Geography and a Master's degree in Geoinformation Science. His professional experience includes roles as a database developer for 3D city models and teaching geodatabase systems at universities. He actively participates in conferences such as FOSSGIS, FOSS4G, and WhereCamp, presenting work on topics like traffic forecasting, geospatial data management, and PostGIS extensions.

Research interests focus on spatial data management (RDBMS/NoSQL/HDFS), spatio-temporal statistics, linear referencing, machine learning in GIS, and 3D city modeling. Current projects address short-term traffic forecasting with STARIMA/SVM/ANN methods, handling missing data in time series, and scalable geostatistical algorithms on Hadoop. He also works on open data models for traffic in OpenStreetMap and mobile databases using GeoPackage.
