Geospatial Data, Maps & Spatial Analysis

Alex Ramiller

Senior Data Science Fellow 2024-2025, Data Science Fellow 2023-2024
City and Regional Planning

I am a PhD Candidate in City and Regional Planning. My research focuses on the use of large administrative datasets to study residential mobility, neighborhood change, and housing access. I received a Master in Geography from the University of Washington and a Bachelor's in Economics and Geography from Macalester College. I have also consulted on analytical projects for several organizations including the San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank, PolicyLink, and the City of Seattle.

R Geospatial Fundamentals: Parts 1-3

October 14, 2024, 2:00pm
Geospatial data are an important component of data visualization and analysis in the social sciences, humanities, and elsewhere. The R programming language is a great platform for exploring these data and integrating them into your research. This workshop focuses on fundamental operations for reading, writing, manipulating and mapping vector data, which encodes location as points, lines and polygons.

Taesoo Song

Data Science Fellow 2024-2025
City and Regional Planning

Taesoo is a Ph.D. candidate in the City and Regional Planning department at the University of California, Berkeley. He studies the nexus of housing policy, neighborhood change, and residential outcomes for low-income and minority households.

His dissertation aims to reassess the prevailing narrative that Asian Americans face minimal barriers in the housing market using quantitative and qualitative methods. Taesoo has worked with the Terner Center for Housing Innovation and the Urban Displacement Project at UC Berkeley, as well as the Seoul Institute in South Korea.
