What a week it has been! Thousands of you attended this year’s Spatial Data Science Conference 2021 (#SDSC21), featuring 53 speakers across 35 interactive talks, workshops, and panels.
At this year’s conference the Spatial Data Scientist of the Year 2021 was awarded and we are very pleased to announce Iacopo Testi as the winner!
Iacopo works at the intersection of Data Science, Sustainability, and Urbanism applying Artificial Intelligence models to the urban domain. He provides applied state-of-art case studies to advance the economic, environmental, and social sustainability of cities. He contributes with insights regarding supervised and unsupervised learning techniques to transform urban environments into sustainability cities.
During his time at RHEA Group, he was selected to be sponsored by the European Space Agency within its Network of Resources (NoR) with a proposal called Urban Forestry Science.
Through his column on Urban AI, he writes on several intelligent automation solutions, as deep artificial neural networks, machine learning and clustering models, exclusively focused on urban topics.
Iacopo is also a faculty staff member within the Michael Graves College of Public Architecture where he teaches the courses of representation and design studio. He collaborated closely with other faculty members to structure the syllabus framework and briefs, and under his guidance students were shortlisted by the ‘Rome Collective Living Challenge’ international competition and selected for department publications.
Many congratulations to Iacopo!
