Staff Profile
Dr Roya Olyazadeh
Research Assoc in Geospatial Informatics
Background
I am currently a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Newcastle University in the UK. The project comprises of developing a Spatial Decision Support System using Geospatial technologies and solutions for water security and sustainable developments in collaboration with 4 other countries, Malaysia, India, Ethiopia, and Colombia.
Before here, I was a Postdoctoral Associate at the University of Calgary in Canada. My main project was related to Geospatial analysis and visualization of large geospatial data in the framework of a Discrete Global Grid System called Digital Earth. I received my Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from the University of Lausanne in Switzerland. I also have a Master of Science in Geospatial Technologies from the University of Muenster in Germany ( Erasmus Mundus joint program with UJI in Spain and Nova Uni in Portugal) and a Master of Engineering in Geomatics from University Technology Malaysia. I am interested in Open-source Web-GIS, Geospatial technologies, Visualization of any kind of Geospatial data, Natural hazard risk management, Geostatistical analysis, Geostatistical modeling, and Geomatics.

Research
I am currently working as a Postdoc Research Associate in the Water Hub security and sanitation project. My main research focuses on the development of a data management platform for visualization, query, processing, and analysis of primary data within the Water Hub. This part will be updated soon when we are able to fix the server issues with NUIT.
