Research and Work Experience

01/2016 – Present

Blacksburg, VA, USA

Graduate Research Assistant (GIS Analyst)

Virginia Tech

Active lead and contribution in various DMV funded research projects related to transportation safety using GIS.

Supervisor: Kathleen Hancock(PhD, Associate Professor) Conducting Spatial Analysis Data Analysis Scripting in Python Scripting in R ModelBuilder Extensive Literature Review Teaching Support

Accomplishments

Created the conceptual and theoretical framework of analyzing the impact of Transportation Network

Companies (TNCs) such as Uber and Lyft in the

mitigation of Alcohol-related crashes in Virginia. The results are compiled in the form of a Project

Report

Analyzed the spatial and non-spatial factors

contributing to the occurrence and severity of

Bicycle- Motor Vehicle (BMV) crashes using GIS and Machine Learning. The results are compiled in the

form of a research article.

Developed a model to extract road intersections at Virginia to be able to analyze the severity and

cost of vehicle crashes at intersections in

Virginia. The results are compiled in the form of a research article.

Contributed in a study related to the impact of

Washington Metro’s shutdown and safe track surge

projects on travel behavior in Northern Virginia

using social media techniques. Analyzed

the travel time before and after metro

shut down.
