About

I am a geospatial engineer with B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees from K. N. Toosi University of Technology, ranked first in both (B.Sc. GPA 17.03/20, M.Sc. GPA 19.11/20). My M.Sc. thesis on mineral potential mapping with GIS and neural networks led to an ISI-indexed paper, and a related paper received a Best Student Paper Award. I have 16 years of experience in energy and GIS in Iran's national gas industry, including as project coordinator of IGN, a platform for gas network analysis used by 10,000 users in 21 regional companies, and as head of the GIS department. IGN's Web GIS also offered semantic voice search in Persian and English. In my last role, my team built a data model for all pipeline design data, including environmental data. PMP-certified. I recently relocated to Italy and am seeking a PhD position in geomatics and GIS, focused on web GIS and open geospatial platforms, and how spatial data from multiple sources can be integrated and made easier to use.
