Taylor Oshan is an Assistant Professor in the Center for Geospatial Information Science in the Department of Geographical Sciences, University of Maryland, as well as an affiliate of the Social Data Science Center, the Maryland Population Research Center, and the Maryland Transportation Institute. His research focuses on developing and applying multiscale methods and local statistical models, particularly of human processes within urban environments, to understand how relationships change across different spatial contexts. He also leads projects to develop open source tools for spatial analysis, including the core algorithms for the Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression software amongst others. He has published over 25 peer-reviewed manuscripts and has collaborated or lead funded projects totaling over $2.3m. He was elected as a board member in 2021 for the Spatial Analysis and Modeling specialty group of the American Association of Geographers and joined Applied Spatial Analysis and Policy as a co-editor-in-chief in 2023.
