Professor Ana Basiri

Professor of Geospatial Data Science (School of Geographical & Earth Sciences)

Biography

Ana Basiri is a Professor in Geospatial Data Science, a UK Research and Innovation Future Leaders Fellow, the Director of the Centre for Data Science and AI, and the Royal Academy of Engineering's EngineeringX Champion at the University of Glasgow. Ana leads a team on Geospatial Data Science Group https://gdsglasgow.github.io/

Ana serves and advises several national and governmental offices, including the Office for National Statistics' Statistics (ONS) Methodological Assurance Review Panel, Department for Science, Innovation, and Technology’s Geospatial Commission, Co-chairs the Scottish Government’s ScotStat Board and Location Data Scotland. She is a Royal Academy of Engineering Safer End of Engineered Life Champion and the Editor in Chief of the Journal of Navigation. Ana is the University of Glasgow’s academic lead for the Alan Turing Institute University Network, and leads a strategic partnership between the Turing and DSO in Singapore.

Ana has given keynotes and invited talks in more than 15 international conferences, including GISRUK 2022, Spatial Data Science 2023, SDSS2021 to name a few. Ana organised and chaired several international conferences, including Chairing 31st Conference of GISRUK2023 and FOSS4G2022, 16th International Conference on Location Based Services 2021. She has published more than 50 peer-reviewed journal papers and books chapters, presented her research in more than 50 conference papers, supervised 19 (8 graduated) PhD, received several honours and awards including EU Role Model in Science. Ana gave talks in public events, policy debates, science festivals about different aspects of AI, trustworthy robotics and navigation technologies, and featured in several news article and magazines, just to name a few (with The Herald on digital immortality and on the danger of technology putting words in mouths, and The Sun on the risks of AI in digital marketing), Ana has received several awards and prizes, including Women Role Model in Science by Alexander Humboldt and European Commission and Marie Curie Alumni, Royal Institute of Navigation NavNews magazine, and Royal Academy of Engineering EngineerinX Champion.

Ana is the University of Glasgow’s Lead for accelerating and facilitating collaborations and partnerships with the Alan Turing Institute (as the Turing Network Development Lead), where she also leads, as the programme lead, the partnership between the institute’s Defence and Security Programme and Defense and Security Organisation in Singapore (ATI-DSO partnership) with £3M funding, and also co-chairs a group at the Alan Turing Institute on responsible data science.

Research interests

Her research split between developing (theoretical and applied) solutions that consider unavailability and biases in data as useful sources of data to make inferences about the underlying reasons that caused missingness or biases as well as developing AI-enabled solutions for Geospatial problems. For these, she collaborates with world-leading academic, government, and industrial partners. Her research and team have been funded by some prestigious awards, including the UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship, Marie Curie Fellowship, and ERC starting grants, and several programme and strategic grant. She leads an interdisciplinary team of postdocs, PhD students and academics, funded by ERC, MRC, ESRC, NERC, EPSRC, RAEng, Alan Turing Institute, and Royal Society.

She examines the quality-quantity tradeoff in big geospatial data, addressing the complexities of integrating traditional and modern data sources. She leverages missing data as a tool to uncover the factors behind data gaps, transforming these challenges into opportunities for deeper insights. Her research extends into artificial intelligence, where she works with multilingual, multimodal data to enhance location extraction, for real-world challenges to harness diverse data sources to tackle some of society’s most pressing challenges.
