Anton Laushkin is currently pursuing a double major in Data Science and Environmental Sciences at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna. As he acquires knowledge in these disciplines, his goal is to advance in Urban Data Science and enhance the sustainability and livability of urban areas. With a foundation in Urban Studies from high school, he participated in university summer programs and led a peer-learning project on the subject. At present, he works as a geographical data scientist at a German startup that focuses on municipal climate adaptation and is a participant in two civic initiatives in Vienna: "Gürtel Liebe" and the development of a parklet on the CEU campus.
