Dr Balamurugan Soundararaj is a Research Fellow at City Futures Research Centre. He was a part of the award winning Value Australia project which integrated cutting-edge research, significant data assets, state-of-the-art analytics, and machine learning/ artificial intelligence to deliver secure digital valuation models and tools covering a broad range of land and property types across Australia. With a background in urban planning, spatial analysis and human geography, he has 8 years of experience working, teaching, and consulting both in academia and industry. His core research interest is in the collection, analysis, modelling and visualisation of large-scale spatial data with a focus on solving problems in visualising and communicating complex methods and their outputs effectively and transparently.
