Jennifer N. Swift

Jennifer N. Swift is Associate Professor (Teaching) of Spatial Sciences at the Spatial Sciences Institute of the University of Southern California Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

The focus of Dr. Swift’s research is at the intersection of web and mobile GIS with CyberGIS, the latter including instruction in advanced cyberinfrastructure. These emerging technological trends, including the use of big data and evolving geoprivacy concerns, should now be considered core elements of the spatial sciences. She is particularly interested in developing pedagogical innovations in the use of 3D...
