Jochen Albrecht
Dr. Albrecht’s students demonstrate great devotion to him. Several graduate students have followed him to different universities, including one (Dr. Femke Reitsma) who moved with him twice. Over his career, he has supervised 28 masters and six Ph.D. theses, several with whom he has co-authored journal articles. Albrecht’s textbook, Key Concepts and Techniques in GIS, was long used as a primer by educators worldwide who appreciated its focus on principles and its applications across platforms and vendors. His new book with Prof. Ramasubramanian, Essential Methods for Planning Practitioners, is an example of his endeavors to reach students and practitioners in diverse disciplines. Professor Albrecht has been on the advisory board of National Geospatial Technology Center of Excellence (GeoTech Center) and formerly served the Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) as a Board Member and the editor-in-chief of the URISA Journal. He is an Editor for the Geographic Information Science & Technology Body of Knowledge. UCGIS will honor Jochen Albrecht and other award recipients during its annual Symposium in May 2018 in Madison, Wisconsin. |
