Hassan Talebi
Research Scientist in Geospatial Data Analytics and Geostatistics
As a geoscience data analyst, I have extensive research experience in geo-modelling, including mineral potential mapping, mineral resource evaluation, spatial uncertainty modelling and risk assessment, spatial data integration, geostatistics, and machine learning.
Geoscience data are typically mixed and high-dimensional with complex statistical and spatial relationships. The focus of my research is to develop new predictive models to address the complexity of geoscience data and to improve the geoscience process discovery analyses.
