Who am I?

Hello, I am Germano Barcelos, a Spatial Data Scientist and MSc in Computer Science.

My journey in Data Science began in 2019 when I joined into NESPED-Lab as an Undergradute Research to study about geospatial data enrichment. There I developed the package MoreData which uses OpenStreetMap, Geopandas and others tools to provide an ease way to enrich data from different databases. In 2021, I participated in GSoC developing Spatial Optimization (Location Set Covering, P-Center, P-Median and Maximal Covering Set Models) models. When GSoC finished I joined into the developers team of PySAL which is the organization that I contributed for, specifically to spopt project.

Since then, I have focused on combining geospatial analysis, machine learning, and network science to develop reproducible pipelines and scalable methods for understanding spatial dynamics in urban environments.

Semantic Enrichment, Deep Learning, Human Mobility, Spatial Optimization, Machine Learning

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad - C.S. Lewis
