Buoyed by the support of the @NSF, my latest endeavor is illuminating a path forward for #vulnerable communities bracing against the #wildfire's wrath. It is about turning #data into #defense and #science into #safety.

Our new article (https://t.co/g6fcre4xWT...), a
@GMU_COS collab betweeen @MasonAOES and @GGSDepartment led by PhD student
@FatemehJanat and @aermagun, uncovers potential network-wide impacts of extreme heat on passenger rail in the US.

Time flies when you do what you love! Grateful for six transformative years with the @NASEMTRB Women and Gender in Transportation (AME20) committee, my first TRB "home." I look forward to AME20's continued growth and impact.

Our PhD student, Fatemeh Janatabadi, is talking about detecting spatial dependence and advancing geospatial data analytics in a packed room. Even the snowstorm couldn’t keep her away!

Our research team at George Mason University is excited to present lectern and poster sessions at the
@NASEMTRB Annual Meeting. Join us to engage with our presenters and gain insights into our most recent findings.

Considering your PhD in the high impact field of geoinformation systems? Come see localized disaster recovery and resilience experts @GeorgeMasonU @GGSDepartment researchers @theAGU

[Alireza Ermagun @aermagun]

Our group has an exciting lineup of lectern and poster presentations on #climate #mobility #resilience at @theAGU. We are also hiring Ph.D. students for Fall 2025! We welcome you to stop by for more information.

Congratulations to our amazing rising high school students for completing their 8-week session! I am proud of their hard work and growth, and I loved building friendships and learning together—especially during those late-night deadline adventures!

What is the Access Weight Matrix (AWM)? We introduce a weight matrix with elements that are a function of (i) the spatial distribution of places, (ii) the number of places, and (iii) the travel-time threshold to reach places.

@Supernetworks @HawkECEProf If you are still in Minneapolis, I recommend you go to Bar La Grassa. That is one of my favorite restaurants 🙂

@liuluyu0378 @MobileHarv Congratulations🙂

Which indicator should we use to measure #transit #effectiveness? We propose an #access-oriented indicator for American cities and put it to the test across the 50 most populated Metropolitan Areas.

@aermagun of @GGSDepartment spearheads a project to fortify vulnerable regions in California against wildfires. With a $397,365 @NSF grant, the team is crafting an interactive map to optimize shelter access during disasters.

Do areas with low access to opportunities suffer from a lack of transit service, lack of opportunities, or both? We propose a four-step framework to dissect the elements of place and mobility in access through the lens of equality.

Certainly, here is the tweet: Even the first sentence of the article was overlooked by everyone involved: authors, reviewers, and the editor.

A truly "double-blind" process with a three-month lead time for publication.
