My main research interests are in spatial and environmental cognition and spatial knowledge representation. Currently I am investigating the use of multiple representations and strategies to solve the problem of wayfinding in an urban environment using public transportation. In a second project, I am working on acquiring and modeling spatio-temporal data representing people acting in public parks. My methods are varied: I am modeling cognitive agents, representations, reasoning, and decision-making using Haskell and Java, I am experimenting with ACT-R for those cognitive agens, I am doing field studies in parks (now is the time!) and I am also carrying out empirical studies with my students. |
