| Dr Shahumyan has over 12 years experience specialising in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), geo-spatial analysis and modelling, data analysis and data management with a focus on land use, urban modelling, spatial planning, and spatial decision supporting systems. After gaining MS degree in Applied Mathematics and PHD in Engineering Harutyun did academic scholarship in the University of Cambridge visiting it periodically during the period of 2002-2005. Meanwhile he started to work as a GIS Expert in different leading international organizations including USAID, Emerging Markets Group, PA Consulting and Development Alternatives Inc. Started from 2008 Dr. Shahumyan works in the University College Dublin as a Post Doctoral Researcher. He was the GIS and modelling expert in the Urban Environment Project funded by EPA. Currently Harut continues his work in a multi-disciplinary team of researchers on application of land use and transport modelling to support decision makers and urban planners in Ireland. His main research is focused on scenario generation and analysis for future regional development, dynamic spatial simulation of land cover changes and urban growth, land use and transport modelling, geo-spatial and statistical analyses informing decision makers, etc. A successful example of generating innovative modelling solution to real world problem was recent application of the MOLAND model in forming an important part of the latest review of the Regional Planning Guidelines published by Dublin & Mid East Regional Authorities in 2010. Harut also manages and administers the URBIS spatial data warehouse of the University, and provides consultancy on GIS multi-disciplinary applications. Dr Shahumyan is an author of more than 20 research papers and is a reviewer of European Science Foundation. |
