Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexis Comber is a Professor of Spatial Data Analytics with over a decade of experience applying geocomputation and spatial statistics to land use, habitat mapping, accessibility and the spatial analysis of public policy. Based at the University of Leeds after a long academic career including a professorship at the University of Leicester, she combines algorithm development and large-scale spatial data linkage to surface patterns that inform planning, public health and environmental decision-making. Her background in computing science (PhD) and plant & crop science gives her a rare interdisciplinary perspective on representation and uncertainty in geographic information. Alexis has a track record of moving from foundational research on land cover and uncertainty to practical, policy-relevant analyses such as location-allocation and urban greenspace evaluation. She is known for blending open-data, open-source approaches and heuristic optimisation to tackle high-volume spatial problems.
