His research interests center on the geospatial analysis of urban structure and dynamics, e.g., topological analysis, and scaling hierarchy applied to buildings, streets, and cities, or geospatial big data in general. Inspired by Christopher Alexander’s work, he developed a mathematical model of beauty—beautimeter, which helps address not only why a structure is beautiful, but also how beautiful the structure is.
