Professor Janowicz is interested in the formal representation of spatial and geographic knowledge both on the level of individual statements, e.g., measurements, as well as the schemata used to categorize these statements, e.g., using geographic feature types. He works on top-down axiomatizations, i.e., formal specification, as well as on learning representations bottom-up. In this context, Janowicz works on the conceptual foundations of knowledge graphs and their applications to a wide range of problems in the broader earth sciences. He is particularly interested in urban spaces and places of interest, more specifically. As director of the Center for Spatial Studies, Janowicz also explores how space and time act as fundamental principles for knowledge organizations across academic disciplines.
