Sharon Kazemi Joining the GIS Center

Sharon Kazemi will join the GIS Center as a Visiting Scholar for 2006-2007 on September 1.

Sharon Kazemi is a spatial information technologist at the Geographic Information Science Center (GISC) of the University of California (UC) Berkeley. Her faculty host is Professor John Radke. Prior joining the GISC at Berkeley, she was working as a risk exposure modeler and GIS analyst at the Geospatial and Earth Monitoring Division of Geoscience Australia. At the GISC, Sharon is tasked to develop GIS training modules/programs, workshops and short courses. She is also keenly interested in spatial modeling and database mining/generalization and its applications over a variety of scales, from local, to regional and national landscapes that fits well with her PhD research as she is currently completing a PhD degree in GIS on the topic of “derivation of multi-scale map and spatial data products from a master database” at the School of Surveying and Spatial Information Systems, the University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney Australia. Her academic faculty supervisor is Dr Samsung Lim.
