Biography

Professor João Porto de Albuquerque is Professor in Urban Analytics at Urban Studies in the School of Social and Political Sciences at the University of Glasgow and Deputy Director of the Urban Big Data Centre (UBDC), where he leads the "Urban Sustainability and Participation" theme. He is also an associate member of the Centre for Research & Development in Adult and Lifelong Learning (CR&DALL) at the School of Education.

Professor Porto de Albuquerque is a geographer and computer scientist with an interdisciplinary background who conducts research on geographic information and urban sustainability, focusing on addressing inequalities in data and society. His work cuts across the borders between social and computing sciences, as well as between the global South and the global North. His pioneering and award-winning approach to participatory urban analytics combines participatory methods (e.g., citizen science, participatory GIS, action research, participatory software design) and geo-computational data science. Professor Porto de Albuquerque draws inspiration from Paulo Freire's dialogic pedagogy to engage disadvantaged and marginalised social groups to make urban science and data analytics more plural, in pursuing socially just urban transformations and climate resilience.

In the past few years, he has developed this approach through several research grants (see details below), including participatory mapping of healthcare access with residents of informal settlements in Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria and Pakistan (as work-package lead at the NIHR Global Health Unit on Improving Health in Slums); co-design of data visualisations of the food-water-energy nexus in Slupsk (Poland), Tulcea (Romenia) and Willmington (USA) (as work-package lead at Creating Interfaces funded by JPI Urban Europe/ESRC/Belmont Forum); citizen science for flood resilience in several cities in Brazil (Principal Investigator of the award-winning Waterproofing Data Project (ESRC/Global Challenges Research Fund/Norface/Belmont Forum); participatory data generation with self-built urban communities in Brazil and Colombia for improving resilience and reducing disaster risks (Principal Investigator of the URBE Latam project funded by UKRI-GCRF); and currently co-creation of Earth-Observation AI data ecosystems to map and improve urban deprived areas in Kenya and Nigeria (IDEAMAPS Data Ecosystem funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation).

His research has achieved significant societal impact by empowering disadvantaged urban communities to improve resilience to health and disaster risks using citizen-generated data. It received several impact awards, including winning the Outstanding Societal Impact category of ESRC's Celebrating Impact Prize with the Waterproofing Data project for helping protect residents of flood-prone areas of Brazilian cities.

This transdisciplinary research on socio-ecological-technical urban systems emphasises cross-border collaboration between the (environmental) sciences, social sciences and humanities; it also goes beyond academic disciplines to engage in co-production and co-creation with non-academic societal/indigenous stakeholders. He has secured competitive research funds for his research in excess of £5.5m as a lead investigator (£17m+ as co-investigator) from diverse national and international funding bodies (e.g. Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Global Challenges Research Fund, Leverhulme Trust, AHRC, ESRC, EPSRC, Belmont Forum, NIHR, EU H2020, FAPESP, CAPES) in collaboration with academic and non-academic partners in several countries, including Australia, Brazil, Bangladesh, Colombia, Ghana, Germany, Kenya, Nigeria, Pakistan, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and the United States.

Before coming to Glasgow, Prof Porto de Albuquerque worked at the University of São Paulo (Brazil), Heidelberg University (Germany) and, more recently, at the University of Warwick as Professor and Director of the Institute for Global Sustainable Development, which he has established as a transdisciplinary cross-faculty hub. He was also Co-Director of the Warwick Institute for the Science of Cities and has conceived and set up the £1.5m Leverhulme Doctoral Scholarships Programme “TRANSFORM: Transformations of Human-Environment Interactions to Sustainable Development” aimed at training the next generation of sustainability scientists in collaboration with colleagues from different disciplines including computer science, ecology, urban geography, media studies and environmental humanities.

Background

After studying Computer Science, Social Sciences and Philosophy at the University of Campinas, Brazil, Prof Porto de Albuquerque did a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Campinas and at the Technical University of Dortmund, Germany (2006). He was awarded a prestigious fellowship of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation (2006-2008) to conduct post-doctoral research in social studies of information systems at the University of Hamburg, Germany, with a stay at the Information Systems Group of the London School of Economics and Politics (LSE). He worked as Assistant Professor in Information Systems at the School of Arts, Sciences and Humanities of the University of São Paulo (2008-2010) and at the Department of Computer Systems of the Institute of Mathematical and Computing Sciences of the University of São Paulo (2010-2015), Brazil. From 2013-2016 he acted as a Visiting Professor in Geographic Information Science at the Institute of Geography of Heidelberg University, Germany with a fellowship funded by the DFG’s Excellence Programme. In 2016, João took up the post of Associate Professor in the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies at the University of Warwick to lead the MSc in Urban Analytics and Visualisation, in which he played a pivotal role in curriculum development in partnership with Warwick's Department of Computer Science. He was also Co-Director of the Warwick Institute for the Science of Cities and Warwick Director of the Centre for Urban Science and Progress London (CUSP London) in partnership with King's College London and New York University (NYU). Between January 2019 and September 2021, he was Professor and Director of the Institute for Global Sustainable Development at the University of Warwick.

Supervision

Professor Porto de Albuquerque is interested in supervising PhD students in urban analytics with a thematic focus on urban inequalities, sustainability and climate/disaster resilience. He particularly welcomes methodological interests in combining participatory methods (e.g., citizen science, participatory GIS mapping, action research, participatory software design) and geographic data science/spatial data analytics, including citizen-generated data/open collaborative mapping platforms (e.g. OpenStreetMap) and how they can be used to empower disadvantaged groups and to address inequalities in society and data towards just urban sustainability transformations in cities across the global North and the global South.
