  • Who is Daniele Trogu

    Daniele Trogu is a PhD student in Cagliari University.

    He received his master degree in Land Engineering and Urban Planning at University of Cagliari in July 2010. His thesis (Complementarietà tra Pianificazione Territoriale e Pianificazione Energetica: il caso delle biomasse vegetali in Sardegna) surveys the relationship between these two kind of plans. In addition to this, thesis present also a simulation in GIS environment as a planning support system to detect location for biomass plant with the least transport cost. Currently his research is spatial autocorrelation for urban phenomena.

    From October 2011he will be a teaching assistant for the Spatial Planning course at the Faculty of Engineering in Cagliari.

    Who is Simone Caschili

    Simone Caschili, enviromental engineer,  received his Ph.D. in Ingegneria del Territorio (Land Engineering and Urban Planning) at University of Cagliari (IT) in February 2010. His thesis (Complex Networks and Spatial Analysis: an Integrated Approach for Community Detection) explores the linkages between Complex Network Theory and Spatial Planning proposing a contribution to the issue of “regionalization”.  His research interests are the modelling of urban and regional systems as complex networks, the inclusion of time-space features in network modelling and policy evaluation for planning in both urban and environmental governance. He developed the GIS tool ComplexNetGIS, an ArcGIS® integrated tool. It provides several network functions and indices taken from Complex Network Theory and transport analysis.
    Since 2007 he has been a teaching assistant for the Spatial Planning course at the Faculty of Engineering in Cagliari.
    From August 2006 to September 2010 he worked as a consultant at the Urban Planning Office of the Autonomous Administration of Sardinia and supported the maintenance of the regional landscape plan.

    Since Octobre 2010 he has been appointed at Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis – University College London – as Research Associate for the ENFOLD-ing Project.
