Time: 6pm-8pm
Location: https://www.pdx.edu/accelerator/directions
PSU Business Accelerator
2828 SW Corbett Ave · Portland, OR
Parking is open after 5pm.
Room 208 (on the second floor)
Speaker: Jackson Voelkel
Jackson will discuss the basics of GIS, and the current environment in
which enterprise spatial analytics are performed. Considering the many
pitfalls of this current system, he will discuss how FOSS tools -
especially PostgreSQL/PostGIS - are vitally important for modern spatial
analytics. In addition to the PostGIS extension, Jackson will talk about
network routing using the PgRouting extension and the interface between
R and PostgreSQL. This talk will act more as a showcase of GIS and
“spatial SQL” within PostgreSQL than it will nitty-gritty database
development.
Jackson Voelkel is a Health Data Analyst on Kaiser Permanente’s GIS Team
as well as an Adjunct Professor of Geography at Portland State
University. He focuses on developing infrastructure for and performing
advanced spatial analytics across healthcare, environment, urban
planning, utilities, and econometrics. He teaches courses on advanced
spatial analytics in R as well as spatial database design with
PostgreSQL/PostGIS.
