Rosa Aguilar holds a Diploma degree in Computer System Engineering from University Lisandro Alvarado in Venezuela. She holds two master’s degrees in computer science and Geoinformatics from University Simon Bolivar in Venezuela and the University of Twente in The Netherlands respectively. Before joining ITC at the University of Twente as a PhD researcher, she worked as a Chief Technical Officer at the Geographic Institute of Venezuela. Previously, she accumulated practical experience in Geographic Information System (GIS), remotely sensed image analysis, spatial database management and Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) implementation at the Institute of Engineering in Venezuela.  

Rosa is interested in geospatial tools for supporting collaborative spatial processes and machine learning techniques applied to geospatial data.

Research profiles

Courses academic year 2023/2024

Courses in the current academic year are added at the moment they are finalised in the Osiris system. Therefore it is possible that the list is not yet complete for the whole academic year.

Current research is to develop  an interactive, open-source planning support (PS) tool that fosters stakeholder interaction and engagement in collaborative spatial planning processes. By f ollowing a human-centred design approach, the research will contribute in two perspectives: developing a PS tool for a maptable that exploits the touch capabilities of the device and accommodates group work in a pleasant experience.
