Bernd Resch did his PhD in the area of \u201cLive Geography\u201d (real-time monitoring of environmental geo-processes) together with University of Salzburg and MIT. His research interest revolves around understanding cities as complex systems through analysing a variety of digital data sources, focusing on developing machine learning algorithms to analyse human-generated data like social media posts and physiological measurements from wearable sensors. The findings are relevant to a number of fields including urban research, disaster management, epidemiology, and others. Bernd received the Theodor K\u00f6rner Award for his work on \u201cUrban Emotions\u201d. He also established the iDEAS:lab, a multi-functional outreach and science communication laboratory environment. Amongst a variety of other functions, he is an Editorial Board Member of IJHG, IJGI and PLOS ONE, a scientific committee member of various international conferences (having chaired several conferences), and an Executive Board member of Spatial Services GmbH.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\" alignfull wp-block-atom-grid\">\n    <div class=\"container container-wide\">\n        <div class=\"row justify-content-center align-items-start\">\n<p> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"open-knowledge-maps\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSB3aWR0aD0iMTI2MCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI4MjAiIHNyYz0iaHR0cHM6Ly9vcGVua25vd2xlZGdlbWFwcy5vcmcvc2VhcmNoP3R5cGU9Z2V0JnNlcnZpY2U9b3JjaWQmb3JjaWQ9MDAwMC0wMDAyLTIyMzMtNjkyNiZsaW1pdD0yMDAmYWNhZGVtaWNfYWdlX29mZnNldD0wJmVuYWJsZV9oX2luZGV4PWZhbHNlJmVuYWJsZV90ZWFjaGluZ19tZW50b3JzaGlwPXRydWUmZW1iZWQ9dHJ1ZSIgYWxsb3c9ImNsaXBib2FyZC13cml0ZTsgc2VsZiBodHRwczovL29wZW5rbm93bGVkZ2VtYXBzLm9yZy87Ij48L2lmcmFtZT4=\" ><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/it-u.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/bct-matterport-main.png')\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from Open Knowledge Maps.
