GIS Analyst- Data Scientist
Recent graduate in geospatial engineering with three months professional experience as a software product intern in ESRI. Equipped with dual master’s degrees from Virginia Tech (geospatial Engineering) and K.N. Toosi University of Technology (GIS). Dedicated to make an impact by solving real-world problems using location-based analytics.
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.
