I am Amirhossein Shabani, an assistant professor of urban planning at Azad University. I have a bachelor's degree in architecture and a master, PhD's degree in urban planning. I have always been fascinated by the interplay between urban and architectural issues, and how they affect the quality of life of people and communities. Some of the topics that I have focused on in my research are the city and healthy space, urban regeneration, and sustainable and resilient city. I have published several papers and books on these topics, and I have also participated in various national and international projects and conferences. Recently, I have developed a new interest in the field of spatial data science, which is the application of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning to urban and architectural data. I have taken some courses and conducted some studies in this field, and I have learned a lot of new skills and techniques. I believe that spatial data science can offer new insights and solutions for the complex and dynamic problems that urban and architectural studies face. One of the main challenges that I am interested in addressing is the global challenge of climate change, inequalities, and health after the COVID-19 period. I think that these issues require a multidisciplinary and holistic approach, and that spatial data science can play a key role in this regard. I am eager to conduct applied research and use spatial data science to contribute to the reduction of the challenges facing the world.
