New paper: Making waves: A conceptual framework exploring how large language model-based multi-agent systems could reshape water engineering

We are happy to share a new open-access paper led by doctoral researcher Seyed Hossein Hosseini, published in Water Research. The study presents a conceptual framework for integrating Large Language Model-based Multi-Agent (LLM-MA) systems into water engineering, exploring both the opportunities these systems offer and the challenges that come with them. Water engineering is inherently complex. […]

New paper: When Proximity Falls Short: Inequalities in Commuting and Accessibility by Public Transport in Santiago, Chile

We are excited to share that our latest paper, led by doctoral researcher Cesar Marin-Flores, has been published in Geographical Analysis. The study examines commuting patterns and public transport accessibility in Santiago, Chile, and shows that living close to opportunities does not guarantee the ability to reach them. Public transport accessibility is widely used to assess […]

New paper: Participatory mapping for unveiling the values of blue spaces

We are happy to share that Oleksandr recently co-authored a paper published in the journal Cities. In this paper, the authors investigated the socio-cultural values of ecosystem services in managed, semi-managed, and low-managed urban blue spaces in Warsaw, Poland, using participatory mapping (PPGIS) data. The work was led by the Anna Wilczyńska from the Rīga […]
