NUS Assistant Professor Filip Biljecki from the Department of Architecture at the College of Design and Engineering has been conferred the Royal Geographical Society’s 2026 Gill Memorial Award, which recognises outstanding early-career contributions to geographical science.
Asst Prof Biljecki has been honoured for his research spanning urban analytics, geospatial data science and digital twins, fields that are transforming the measurement, modelling and understanding of cities. His research creates new ways to sense, analyse and represent cities using large-scale urban data, with applications in urban planning, transport, climate and sustainability.
