I received my Ph.D. in engineering with a certificate of commendation from the Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Kanazawa University in Japan in 2015. Subsequently, I was awarded a JSPS fellowship, a prestigious award in Japan with an acceptance rate below 10%, and I worked as a research fellow at the Tokyo Institute of Technology for a duration of two years, spanning from 2016 to 2018. In 2019, I served as a postdoctoral researcher at RIKEN, Geoinformatics Unit. From 2019 to 2024, I was an assistant professor in Department of Remote Sensing and GIS in the University of Tabriz. I also visited Gebze Technical University (GTU) and Istanbul Technical University (ITU) as a TUBITAK-supported visitor in 2022 and 2024, respectively. Since 2024, I am an associate professor in Department of Remote Sensing and GIS in the University of Tabriz. I am also an IEEE GRSS (Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society) Senior Member from 2025.
I consider Rene Descartes and his coordinates to be as fundamental as Isaac Newton and his theory of gravity. One day, while Rene was taking a moment of rest, he noticed a fly on the ceiling moving in various directions. He envisioned the fly within a two-dimensional coordinate system, and thus, the world's first coordinate system came into existence. This marked a revolutionary moment in the field of science, particularly in geosciences. Since that time, we have harnessed the power of coordinates in geosciences to advance our understanding of various phenomena, such as earthquakes...
