I'm João Pedro T. T. Lucas, research assistant at the Pontifical Catholic University of Campinas Observatory in Brazil.
My passion lies in academic research, particularly within the field of regional and development economics. My focus involves employing spatial and data analysis to visualize and understand crucial indicators that significantly impact society.
- Regional Economy
- Development Economics
- Spatial Data Analysis
- GIS
- Urban Vulnerability
- Crime Economy
Since 2022, I've been actively engaged as an research assistant. I actively work in two prominent extension programs. The first, focused on the Productive Structure and Socioeconomic Development, conducting comprehensive studies on the foreign trade within the Metropolitan Region of Campinas (MRC). The second, in partnership with the FEAC foundation, conducting a Social Territory Diagnosis. This involved analyzing microdata from the federal program Unified Registry (Cadastro Único), contributing to the development of a unique geocoding methodology for registered families. In both projects, my research delved into regional economic indicators, aiming to offer valuable insights to support key sectors of the economy.
