Dear Yair & Marco,
It is great to see the progress the academic track at SotM makes from year
to year, not to mention the outcome of all the research presented at the
conferences. Please find below my application for the scientific committee.
*Name:* Levente Juhasz
*Affiliation*: GIS Center, Florida International University, Miami, FL, USA
*Academic experience, in particular on OpenStreetMap:*
My research interest revolves around understanding the quality and nature
of user generated geographic data. I am interested in both understanding
how and why volunteers generate data, and what these data sources can be
used for. I have published several short and full conference papers, book
chapters and journal articles specifically addressing different aspects of
OSM (see list below), and used OSM extensively in a number of other
publications (e.g. as data source). In my research, I often address
problems and explore issues that can have practical impact on OSM (e.g.
community retention, or cartographic vandalism). In my role as research
faculty at Florida International University, I maintain an active research
agenda and conduct both applied and fundamental research where OSM is
frequently used. I teach a graduate level introductory GIS class, where
OpenStreetMap is introduced to my students as a great, openly accessible
resource. In addition, I have given several guest lectures and taught short
courses that used OSM to some extent. I serve on multiple committees at my
institution, and I previously was the co-chair of the Academic Track at
SotM in 2019 and 2020.
