As a Safe Mobility Analyst, I applied data-driven approaches to improve traffic safety and support Vision Zero initiatives. My work involved conducting statistical analyses, evaluating traffic safety programs, and optimizing resource allocation for safer streets. Key contributions include: • Led the evaluation of the 40 km/h default speed limit and publishing findings in a peer-reviewed journal. • Developed a prioritization system integrating multiple data sources to identify high-risk crosswalks and created a public-facing dashboard for transparency. • Evaluated and recommended traffic calming measures, including driver feedback signs, curb extensions, central medians, and speed humps using advanced statistical modeling. • Designed a data-driven framework to strategically deploy automated enforcement, enhancing program efficiency and safety outcomes. • Applied ArcGIS for geostatistical studies, mapping high-risk crash locations, and integrating various datasets for in-depth analysis. • Analyzed crash trends to support effective, data-informed safety improvements. • Conducted road safety audits and crash analyses to identify contributing factors at high-crash locations and recommended effective engineering countermeasures.

Conducted cutting-edge research in traffic safety and winter road maintenance, using advanced statistical modeling to analyze crash trends and optimize roadway safety strategies. Key contributions include: • Developed models to assess the impact of winter road maintenance operations and weather conditions on pavement friction and crash risk. • Applied structural equation modeling, negative binomial models, linear regression, and binary logit models to analyze crash data, predict high-risk locations, and evaluate safety interventions. • Gained hands-on experience in developing and refining trip generation, trip distribution, mode choice, and assignment models based on land use and demographics. • Published three peer-reviewed journal papers on traffic safety, and winter road maintenance, contributing to industry knowledge. • Processed large datasets, performed geostatistical analysis, and applied GIS techniques to evaluate crash clustering and road network safety. • Supported undergraduate students as a teaching assistant, helping them develop analytical and research skills.

Gained strong engineering, project management, and leadership experience while working on major structural projects in Egypt, UAE and Kuwait. Key contributions include: • Designed and analyzed reinforced concrete and steel structures for large-scale projects, ensuring compliance with IBC, UBC, ACI, and Egyptian codes. • Worked on high-profile developments such as the New Kuwait University Mega-Project and Golden Plaza, contributing to their structural integrity and construction execution. • Collaborated with architects, engineers, and international stakeholders to deliver projects on time and within budget. • Conducted site inspections to ensure quality construction, adherence to engineering standards, and contractor compliance. • Produced AutoCAD technical drawings, reviewed contractor progress payments, and maintained detailed project documentation. • Supervised and guided small teams of young engineers, ensuring effective project execution and professional development.
