Jukka Matthias Krisp

Prof. Dr. Jukka Matthias Krisp is a Professor of Applied Geoinformatics at the Institute of Geography, Faculty of Applied Computer Science, University of Augsburg. He leads the Applied Geoinformatics research team focusing on Location Based Services, Geographic Visualization, Spatial Modeling, and GIS applications in ecological network planning.

His research interests span multiple domains within geoinformatics:

• Location Based Services (LBS) including context modeling, navigation systems, and mobile applications
• Geographic Visualization and Visual Analytics for complex spatial data representation
• Spatial Modeling techniques for urban environments and transportation systems
• Geographic Information Systems applications in ecological network planning and environmental monitoring
• Indoor navigation systems and 3D spatial representation

Prof. Krisp's recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on bicycle routing optimization, spatial analysis of social networks, and the integration of AI technologies like ChatGPT for geospatial data generation. His work often combines traditional GIS methodologies with emerging technologies to address urban mobility challenges, traffic congestion analysis, and sustainable transportation planning. He has made significant contributions to the field of Location Based Services, particularly in context-aware computing and spatial data processing.

Among his notable scientific contributions:

• Development of surface roughness-centric approaches to bicycle routing
• Innovative methods for estimating night populations using mobile network data
• Integration of big data and cartographic techniques for understanding urban mobility patterns
• Application of fuzzy inference systems for traffic congestion analysis
• Narrative approaches to indoor navigation using 360-degree camera documentation

Prof. Krisp actively supervises students and collaborates with researchers internationally. His team includes Pablo Löw, Zulfa Nur'aini Afifah, and former members like Lika Zhvania. He teaches courses such as Advanced Spatial Analysis, Geoinformation Systems and Cartography, and Visual Geodata Mining at the University of Augsburg.
