I teach courses that focus on methodological and technical skills in geospatial data analysis. My teaching covers geospatial technologies and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), with an emphasis on human geography topics, integrating physical spatial data with social and behavioural data.

A key element in my teaching is the integration of spatial thinking with computational thinking. Students learn not only how to use analytical tools, but also how to structure spatial problems, work with data programmatically, and develop reproducible analytical workflows. This combination of spatial and computational skills enables students to analyse complex spatial phenomena in a systematic and data-driven way.

In addition, I teach topics related to mobility and transportation, where spatial methods are used to analyse movement patterns, accessibility, and the spatial organization of transport systems. The courses combine conceptual understanding with hands-on work using contemporary analytical tools and real-world data.
