Dr Duncan Smith is an Associate Professor in GIS and Visualisation at the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) at University College London (UCL). He serves as Programme Co-Director for the MSc Urban Spatial Science, focusing on digital visualisation and Geographical Information Systems (GIS) education. His research emphasizes urban sustainability, transport accessibility, and interactive urban visualisation, with a particular interest in global mega-cities like London, Singapore, and São Paulo. Dr Smith holds a PhD from UCL (2011), an MSc from the University of Edinburgh (2005), and a BA (2003). His recent projects include leading the ESRC-funded Driving Urban Transitions project (2024) exploring sustainable travel in small cities and outer metropolitan areas. Previously, he was Co-Investigator on the SIMETRI project (NSFC JPI Urban Europe) analyzing urban sustainability in London, the Randstad, and China's Greater Bay Area. His research interests span urban visualisation techniques, transport equity analysis, and polycentric urban development. Key areas include GIS-driven urban modelling, accessibility metrics, and the intersection of housing policy with sustainable urban form. His interactive visualisations, available on citygeographics.org , showcase innovative approaches to spatial data presentation. Dr Smith's work consistently addresses global sustainability challenges through geospatial methodologies. Recent studies highlight inequalities in transport accessibility and the spatial implications of urban policies. Upcoming projects will further investigate small-city mobility dynamics using multi-national collaborations with Amsterdam and Lisbon researchers.

Dr. Bonnie Boyana Buyuklieva is a Lecturer in Data Science for Society at University College London's Department of Information Studies. With a background in architecture and computation, including professional experience at Foster and Partners and academic work at Bauhaus University Weimar, she holds a PhD from the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA, UCL). Her educational background includes: PhD from the Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA, UCL) Studies at Bauhaus University Weimar Professional experience at Foster and Partners Dr. Buyuklieva's research focuses on the intersection of the built environment and population studies through computational methods. Her interests span sustainability, data for policy, and household health outcomes, with particular emphasis on women's health. She applies spatial data analysis and visualization techniques to understand urban and regional planning challenges, population geography, and geoscience applications. Her work connects computational approaches with real-world societal issues, particularly in the domains of housing, energy efficiency, and urban sustainability. Her recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on urban sustainability challenges, housing markets, and energy transitions. She has published extensively on residential infrastructure, net-zero transitions, and advanced spatial analysis methods like Geographically Weighted Regression. Her research shows consistent interdisciplinary work bridging technical methods with social science questions, particularly examining spatial patterns in energy efficiency, housing markets, and demographic changes. Dr. Buyuklieva has received recognition through professional fellowships: Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (FRGS) With nearly a decade of teaching experience across Russell Group universities, Dr. Buyuklieva has taught modules to groups ranging from one-on-one supervision to cohorts of 120 students. She has served as Department Course Director for UCL's BSc in Information Studies and currently leads the 'Internet Technologies' module. Her pedagogical approach emphasizes creating 'a safe environment of rigour and refuge where students and collaborators can be met 'where they are'', focusing on individual development and leveraging technology to scale personalized learning experiences. Dr. Buyuklieva's work connects with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Good Health and Well-Being (SDG 3), Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11), and Life on Land (SDG 15), demonstrating her commitment to research with tangible societal impact.
