A Career Built
Across Disciplines
Earthquake Engineering & Seismology
Her graduate studies expanded into earthquake engineering and engineering seismology, adding a deeper understanding of infrastructure, risk and complex physical systems.
Geomatics & Spatial Information
Her academic path subsequently moved into geomatics and geospatial engineering, including doctoral research and work involving spatial information, modeling and visualization.
3D Geospatial Research
Research at Université Laval and later York University's GeoICT Lab expanded her work in 3D geospatial modeling, visualization and spatial technologies.
Applied Transportation Technology
At Metrolinx, Mojgan worked within Applied Research & Corporate Monitoring, Planning & Policy.
- Triplinx transit trip planner
- Geospatial data engineering
- Performance analysis
- Search analysis
Academia & Engineering Education
Her York University career developed across faculty, curriculum and program leadership roles within engineering.
Digital Twins + Immersive Technology
Her research increasingly connected BIM, 3D GIS, XR and digital twins with the built environment.
AI + Spatial Intelligence
More recent work includes OpenAI and language-model applications, AI-enabled digital twins, multi-agent geospatial systems and spatial intelligence.
Institutional Leadership
In 2026, Mojgan became Chair of the Department of Civil Engineering at York University's Lassonde School of Engineering.
