Monica Wachowicz

Monica Wachowicz, after receiving a Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Edinburgh in 1995, she worked on spatio-temporal modelling for ubiquitous computing at the University of Cambridge, Computer Sciences Department in England, for two years. She then took a research fellow position at the Pennsylvania State University before joining the Wageningen University and Research (WUR) in 1999. In 2007 and 2008, she was a visiting Professor in the LatinGeo Group at the Technical University of Madrid, Spain. Her main research interests include the application of mobile sensor networks, the analysis of movement behaviour, and context modelling and reasoning over space and time. For the last decade, she has been working on policy, research and educational issues at European and national levels, aiming to address the needs in sustainable mobility and environmental management. Working in international funded research projects has provided her with the experience of operating in multidisciplinary teams from government, industry, and international organisations. In addition, one of her most rewarding experiences has been in teaching students from different cultural backgrounds and nationalities. She is currently the President of AGILE (Association of Geographic Information Laboratories for Europe) and the European Editor of the International Journal of Geographic Information Science edited by Taylor & Francis.
