Dani Arribas-Bel

I am Professor in Geographic Data Science at the Department of Geography and Planning of the University of Liverpool (UK), and Deputy Programme Director for Urban Analytics at the Alan Turing Institute , where I am also ESRC Fellow. At Liverpool, I am a member of the Geographic Data Science Lab, and I direct the MSc in Geographic Data Science.

I am part of the development team of the open source library PySAL for spatial analysis in Python; and created contextily, a small Python package to use web tile services in static maps.

Since 2019, I am co-editor of "Environment and Planning B - Urban Analytics and City Science" and, since 2020, I am also in the editorial panel of "Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, Series A - Statistics in Society".

My main research interests are:
