From August 2012 till June 2016Illinois Institute of Technology - Chicago - USA. As an Urban Planning Researcher I am especially intrigued by the mapping initiatives that have emerged to document a city in flux. I examined the effects of facilities’ distribution patterns in mixed-use development that emerge in cities on neighborhoods’ socioeconomics characteristics. This analysis considered cities’ mixed-use development patterns, scale, and range of variation. I implemented several techniques in GIS, statistical analysis, and infographics.Key achievements: Delivered and publish knowledge-based methodologies capable of providing holistically

structured decision-making support to improve outcomes of mixed-use development in 32,000 zip codes all over the US.

Established methods for analyzing patterns and trends of mixed-use development through building data mining methodologies and predictive analytics models Focusing on (Accessibility, Transportation, Safety, Employment, Social Cohesion, Housing, Health, and Energy)
