Bio
Dr. Mojgan Jadidi’s research interest includes Geospatial Visual Analytics in 2D and 3D spaces, Building Information Model (BIM) and 3D GIS Integration, Spatial Quantum Computing for the applications of Smart Environmental/Building/Cities and Intelligent Transportation. As founder of GeoVA Lab, she passionately drives the research in engineering education using virtual and augmented reality and gamification technologies and learning analytics intersecting with UN Sustainable Development Goals.
She received her PhD in Geomatics from Université Laval in 2014 working on development of Fuzzy Spatial Datacube for Risk Assessment. She has MSc in Earthquake and Seismology Engineering from ROSE Center (Reduction of Seismic Risk), Italy and Université Joseph Fourier, France and BSc in Civil-Survey Engineering from Iranian University of Science and Technology.
Her research has been funded by multiple grants from NSERC, Mitacs, COMREN, Academic Innovation Fund (AIF), internal York University Funds. She is currently associate Director of ESRI Center of Excellence at York University. Dr. Jadidi won a number of international awards and scholarships during her tenure at Lassonde and for post doctorate, graduate studies, such as best Paper Award from American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Zone III in 2023, Best research paper and research poster from ASEE Saint Lawerence Section in 2022, 3D GeoInfo Conference in 2018, the NSERC in 2016 (Postdoctoral), ESRI Students Award in 2011 (PhD Candidate) and Erasmus Mundus Master Scholarship from the European Commission in 2006. She is secretary of ISPRS Commission IV/WG9 Spatially-enabled urban and regional Digital Twins.
