Background: Dr Didier G. Leibovici is a Research Fellow in geospatial modelling and analysis. Dr Leibovici has a PhD in Applied Mathematics from the University of Montpellier II and worked for some years as a Statistician Researcher in epidemiological and medical research contexts in France and in England. Dr Leibovici also has a Masters degree in Information Technology from the University of Montpellier II and his previous post was in geomatic modelling for landscape changes at the IRD (Institute of Research for Development) in France. He has expertise in statistics with spatial and non-spatial data, data modelling and GIS application modelling and as such took part (whilst holding a project leader position in an IRD research unit) in a still ongoing FP6 program on Desertification (DeSurvey). Current Project: Didier is taking part in the eSoTer FP7 “Soil and Terrain database platform for EU (contributing in data modelling and OGC/ISO/INSPIRE standards, and meta-modelling for data processing), GIS4EU part of eContent+ European program (contributing in data modelling specification), and EuroGEOSS FP7 “European approach to GEOSS” (contributing in multiscale and integrated modelling controls of a GEOSS model workflows). Research Interests: His research interests are related to interoperability and conflation models for cross-scales issues and to chaining/combining models or services for integrated modelling applications within an interoperable framework. This encompasses data quality and uncertainty impacts in relation to the workflow used together with sensibility assessments, also when modifying the workflow due to change of context e.g. upscaling, downscaling, in space and/or in time. Sources of interests and motivations concern environmental ecological and geoscience models, but also public health and spatial epidemiology applications.
