Research
[edit | edit source]His research topics included spatial mobility of people, travel, urban geography and segregation, with special interest on using and developing mobile positioning based methods. Previous research included the impact of climate change, environmental impact and seasonality.
Scientific activities focus to Mobility Lab of University of Tartu.[3]
He was the co-founder and co-owner of spin-off company Positium LBS.[4]
