Raja Sengupta is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography at McGill University. He specializes in Geographic Information Science (GIScience) with a focus on spatial decision support systems and agent-based modeling. His research projects explore various dimensions of GIScience, including the impacts of human activities on ecosystems and the development of new GIS-based analysis tools. Raja employs agent-based models to study complex biological and social systems, emphasizing the need for innovation in current GIS methods and tools. His work aims to improve existing algorithms and methodologies to better understand anthropogenic disturbances and their outcomes at the landscape level, ultimately assisting in policy-making. Collaboration on current projects includes geovisualization and studying human-environment interactions in the Indian Ocean World, as well as applying agent-based modeling to zoonotic disease transmission with a case study on Colobus monkeys in Kibale National Park, Uganda, and early detection strategies for epidemics in rural India.
