Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Dunkel is a Senior Scientist and landscape planner with 10 years’ experience at the intersection of landscape architecture, volunteered geographic information, and data-driven visualization. He earned a Dr.-Ing. (summa cum laude) from TU Dresden for research on crowd-sourced data and landscape perception and has since led projects in VGI interpretation, cartographic communication, and environmental impact assessment. At TU Dresden and now the Leibniz IÖR he develops open-source tools and integrated participation workflows to make public engagement more active and spatially intelligible. His teaching and workshops have taken him from Dresden to Berkeley, Toronto, and Virginia, reflecting a strong international network in both academia and practice. Beyond research he codes as a data engineer and brings practical landscape-planning experience from field offices in Berkeley and San Francisco, blending design sensibility with reproducible data workflows. An avid windsurfer and photographer, he applies a practitioner’s curiosity to turn complex spatial data into accessible visual narratives.
