Mila Koeva

About

Mila Koeva is a leading researcher in geomatics, with a focus on digital twins, 3D modelling, and geospatial technologies for urban and cultural heritage applications. Her most cited work, "Digital twin of a city: Review of technology serving city needs" (2022, 187 citations), critically examines how digital twins can be adapted from manufacturing to dynamic urban ecosystems, addressing key questions about content and orchestration to enhance city efficiency. This contribution has significantly advanced the integration of geospatial data with smart city planning. Koeva also explores 3D modelling and interactive web-based visualization for cultural heritage objects (2016, 6 citations), leveraging photogrammetry and laser scanning to preserve historical sites. Additionally, she has contributed to the field of robotic mapping through her review of unmanned vehicle systems for geomatics (2019, 3 citations), highlighting the shift towards automated data collection. With her work bridging theoretical frameworks and practical applications, Koeva has established herself as a key figure in geospatial science, impacting both academic research and real-world urban development. Her ongoing efforts continue to shape how cities and heritage sites are digitally represented and managed.
