Frankie Cho
Hello, my name is Frankie Cho.
I use climate, economic and geospatial data to build tools for decision support.
I am currently a final-year PhD student in Environmental Economics at the University of Exeter & University of Queensland joint PhD program. I received my bachelors and masters degrees in Geography from the University of Hong Kong.
Skills: R, Python, Julia, GIS, and front-end development (ReactJS/ VueJS/ NextJS).

Spatially-explicit land use decision-making under catastrophic risk: a Monte Carlo experiment
Project description: Used a Monte Carlo experimental approach to compare alternative stochastic optimisation algorithms for identifying optimal land-use decisions under uncertainty.
1. Simulated catastrophic risks
Simulated catastrophic spatially-autocorrelated risks using methods from spatial econometrics (spatial lag models) and computational simulation
2. Comparison of stochastic optimisation algorithms
Compared the performance of mean-standard deviation (Modern Portfolio Theory) versus conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) approaches to solving land-use decision problems in terms of utility maximisation.
These results are currently in preparation for submission to an academic journal, please do not cite.
