Biography

Majid’s area of interest is in computational geometry. He has deployed these on geospatial predictions of trajectory data, network simplification and map-matching in presence of trajectory data. A key area of interest of his is in implementing machine learning-based methodologies to help predict future movements of entities on transportation networks based on sparse and uncertain historical observations.

Awards
