Dr Linus Dietz is a Lecturer in Computer Science Education in the Department of Informatics, King's College London. Linus is a computer science researcher, educator, and author with a passion for programming and data science. His research focuses on the intersection of data science and recommender systems, with applications in mobility, urban computing, and health. Linus is a co-author of the book Java by Comparison, a guide to writing high-quality code.

Linus' research aims to develop methods for measuring and understanding urban spaces, with the goal of helping citizens make healthier decisions through recommender systems and providing urban planners with insights for potential improvements.

Linus did his postdoctoral studies at the Centre for Urban Science and Progress at King's College London, under the mentorship of Daniele Quercia after completing his doctorate on 'Data-driven Destination Recommender Systems', at the Technical University of Munich under the supervision of Wolfgang Wörndl and Jörg Ott.
