Selected Projects

Ideas Engineered
into Intelligent Systems

Selected initiatives from Mojgan Jadidi's work at the intersection of geospatial intelligence, artificial intelligence, digital twins, BIM/GIS, immersive environments and the built environment.

These projects demonstrate a trajectory from understanding physical environments through spatial data to developing increasingly intelligent ways of interacting with engineering information.

BIM + 3D GIS

Connecting Buildings
with Geographic Context

BIM provides rich information about buildings and infrastructure. 3D GIS provides geographic and spatial context. Their integration creates new possibilities for understanding built environments within the wider world around them—and informs later work in digital twins.
