Zahra Hadavand

Research Associate

Zahra received the MSc and PhD degrees in Geomatics Engineering from the University of Calgary in 2020. Before joining CCG, she worked as a research assistant at U of C in the integration and calibration of ranging and imaging systems such as terrestrial laser scanners for accurate 3D spatial modeling, feature extraction, and metric inspection of infrastructures. She is currently working as a research associate at CCG. She is interested in continuing research in spatial statistics to improve quantifying and integrating uncertainty in the modeling of geospatial variables.
