Jan 2017 - Aug 2018
Boise, Idaho Area ▪ Developed a model that predicts economic output of cities using night time luminosity from satellite imagery. o I used R to analyze large (global) raster data and used machine learning techniques including random forests, gradient boosting, and generalized additive models (GAM), to produce global measures of urban luminosity. o associated publication: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0265813516658477

Boise, Idaho Area ▪Our team of professors and graduate students developed a spatially explicit land use change model. ▪I developed a land-use-land-change model in R for the local area using the methodology developed by Moulds et al. (2015). o I used machine learning methods, namely, classification using logistic regression, recursive partitioning and random forests and the implementation of an allocation scheme (i.e. CLUE-S and Ordered Allocation algorithm). o published paper:… Show more ▪Our team of professors and graduate students developed a spatially explicit land use change model. ▪I developed a land-use-land-change model in R for the local area using the methodology developed by Moulds et al.

Jan 2016 - Jan 2017
Boise, Idaho Area ▪ Our team extended the work of Qubbaj et al (2014), who developed a stylized Lotka-Volterra model to simulate the interaction between cities and their connections to resources. ▪ We developed a system of ordinary differential equations to simulate urban-resource consumption behavior. o I developed and modeled the system of ordinary differential equation in MATLAB. o published paper: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/19463138.2017.1324455
