Adel Bolbol

Adel Bolbol is a PhD student in UCL, Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering department. He studied for his MSc in GIS from City University - London in 2007. His current research interests span between Spatial Analysis, Movement Data Analysis, Transportation, Spatio-Temporal Human Behaviour Modelling, WebGIS, Geospatial analysis and data mining.

Adel is currently working on a 3.5 year project under the following title: EPSRC Location and Timing Knowledge Transfer Network (KTN) and u-blox (UK): Modelling the Changing Surroundings of Everyday Life – GeoTravelDiary.
