About
Mahdi Rahimi, PhD, is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Groningen's Faculty of Spatial Sciences, Department of Planning. His work focuses on geographic information systems (GIS), urban informatics, and geospatial modeling. He specializes in context-aware spatial computation, volunteered geographic information, and network analysis.
Research Expertise: His research integrates GIS with urban studies, emphasizing geosocial analysis, location-based social networks, and topology-based spatial data models. He develops innovative methods for indoor spatial-social networking and optimum-path analysis using advanced graph theory and Voronoi diagram techniques.
Publications: Dr. Rahimi’s recent work includes advancing property graph models for indoor location-based services (2023) and context-aware network generalization methodologies (2014–2015). His research bridges computational spatial analysis with real-world urban challenges.
Advising & Grants: No advising roles or grants explicitly mentioned. His current focus aligns with postdoctoral research in spatial sciences.
Labs/Teams: Affiliated with the Department of Planning’s spatial analysis and urban informatics research groups.
