Skills
🌍 Spatial Analysis & Remote Sensing
-
🗺️Street Network Analysis
- Analyzed street patterns and assessed street forms that influence surface temperature.
- Analyzed connectivity and pedestrian accessibility, identifying key areas.
- Identified urban functionality through the relationship between streets and buildings.
- Visualized street orientation and street geometry in ancient and hesitant areas.
- Addressed pedestrian accessibility issues due to inadequate crossings. -
🌡️ Climate & Natural Hazard Analysis
- Visualized Land Surface Temperature (LST) and improved the scaling of multiple observation maps.
- Visualized air pollution to identify environmental risks.
- Visualized flood vulnerability to evaluate risks and assist in disaster preparedness. -
🏙️ Urban & GeoSpatial Data Science
- Applied NDVI, NDBI, and land cover classification to assess land use and environmental health.
- Predicted land use patterns using deep learning and machine learning techniques.
- Developed 3D models to visualize building density and infrastructure, providing insights into walkability and vehicular access.
- Conducted a comprehensive site selection analysis for residential construction, considering critical factors such as elevation, slope, proximity to urban areas, roads, power network, and rivers; applied a weighted binary comparison matrix to identify and select the most suitable sites for development.
- Visualized the spread of COVID-19 in various regions of Iran over several weeks. -
🚗 Agent-Based Modeling
- Developed models for traffic flow.
- Created flood simulations to assess evacuation strategies during floods.
📊 Data Science
-
🤖 Machine Learning & Forecasting
- Built and applied time series models to improve forecasting accuracy with a global scale dataset.
- Enhanced regression time series predictions using Holt-Winters’ multiplicative smoothing.
- Improved ARIMA time series predictions by incorporating external variables. -
💾 Big Data Management
- Managed and predicted outcomes using real-world datasets with numerous columns and limited rows.
- Preprocessed, cleaned, and handled large datasets, ensuring data integrity for analysis.
- Identified and analyzed interconnections across diverse data types.
- Developed optimal strategies for forecasting large datasets, addressing real-world challenges like missing data and inconsistencies.
