Profile
Dr Filip BILJECKI
Principal Investigator
Dr Filip Biljecki is an assistant professor at the National University of Singapore and the founder of the NUS Urban Analytics Lab. He holds an MSc and PhD degree from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands. Dr Biljecki’s research and teaching centre around the convergence of geomatic engineering, geospatial technologies, and urban data science to support digital twins and data-driven urban planning.
In particular, the mission of his research group is advancing urban analytics with a strong geospatial foundation, encompassing research on data acquisition (e.g., making urban data better and more accessible), data harmonisation and data standardisation (e.g., development of international standards to encode data), the introduction of new means of processing (e.g., enhancing GeoAI techniques to extract novel insights about the built environment), and advancement of the topic of urban data quality assessment (e.g., development of new means to systematically assess the quality of spatial data, establish data requirements and fitness for purpose). He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles.
At NUS, he has been awarded for teaching and research multiple times and has supervised dozens of students leading them to publications in leading journals and placements at top universities and organisations. He has been part of multiple leading journals, such as an editorial board member of Landscape and Urban Planning.
