Luc Anselin is currently Faculty Excellence Professor and Director of the Spatial Analysis Laboratory in the Department of Geography at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. He is also a Senior Research Associate at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at UIUC. He holds appointments in the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, the Department of Economics, Department of Political Science and Department of Urban and Regional Planning. He is a Senior Research Professor in the Regional Economics Applications Laboratory (REAL). He previously was Director of the Bruton Center for Development Studies at the University of Texas, Dallas. He has also held faculty positions at the Regional Research Institute (RRI) of West Virginia University, the Department of Geography and National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA) at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and the Department of City and Regional Planning at The Ohio State University. He is a member of the National Consortium on Violence Research (NCOVR) and served on the Executive Committee of the Center for Spatially Integrated Social Science (CSISS). His Ph.D. (1980) in Regional Science is from Cornell University and he holds a Masters in Econometrics, Statistics and Operations Research from the Free University of Brussels (Belgium), where he also obtained an undergraduate degree (Licenciate) in Economics.
He was elected a Fellow of the Regional Science Association International in 2004, and obtained the Walter Isard Award in 2005 and the William Alonso Memorial Prize in 2006.
Dr. Anselin's research deals with various aspects of spatial data analysis and geographic information science, ranging from exploratory spatial data analysis to geocomputation, spatial statistics and spatial econometrics, with substantive applications in regional economics, environmental economics, real estate economics as well as in epidemiology, criminology and political science. He has lectured widely on these topics and held advanced workshops for the ICPSR at the University of Michigan, the Royal Institute of Technology (Stockholm), Cornell University, the Wharton School, the World Bank, and the Urban Institute, among others. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the US Department of Agriculture, the US Environmental Protection Agency, the National Consortium on Violence Research, the Centers for Disease Control, and others.
Dr. Anselin has published widely on topics dealing with spatial and regional analysis, including a much cited book on Spatial Econometrics (Kluwer 1988), three edited volumes, over a hundred refereed journal articles and book chapters, as well as a large number of reports and technical publications. He is the developer of several software tools for the statistical analysis of spatial data, including SpaceStat, and, most recently, GeoDa. He is also an editor of the International Regional Science Review, was formerly Editor-in-Chief of the Papers in Regional Science and serves on the editorial board of several journals in regional science and analytical geography.
