He is a GIS specialist at Vivid and his geospatial skills have recently been applied to mapping the suitability of nature-based solutions given physical properties, among other projects. He is an expert in machine learning, geographic information systems, big data science and spatial econometrics, applying these tools to predict land-use change and site suitability for current and future interventions. Neeraj’s doctoral studies from the University of Cambridge utilises deep machine-learning algorithms to extract and classify urban retail infrastructure from earth observation data.
