Profile
Zachary Patterson is a Professor at the Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering. Zachary received his PhD from McGill University and was a postdoctoral researcher at the Ecole polytechnique federale de Lausanne in Switzerland in the Transport and Mobility Laboratory (TRANSP-OR). He was Assistant and Associate Professor starting in 2010 in the Concordia University department of Geography, Planning & Environment. In 2021 he joined the Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering (CIISE). Professionally he worked as transportation modeler at the Montreal regional public transportation planner, l'Agence metropolitaine de transport. Zachary's research focuses on: the use of emerging technologies in transport-related data collection, computational geospatial data processing, data analysis and inference with statistical and artificial intelligence techniques and discrete choice experiments.

Workshop 3: Urban Systems Research This in-person workshop at Concordia University was convened to provide general updates and garner feedback on Bridging Divides projects taking under the Place and Infrastructure Theme Group. The workshop included presentations on the following:
Thomas Zhao: VR based neighbourhood preference analysis
Isaac Otchere: Customized Smartphone App for Travel Surveys
Houman Haghi: Choice set generation problem
Lina Waqfi: Migration location choice literature
Samuel Guardino: Multiagent microsimulation of urban systems
Farbod Abbasi: Population synthesis
Tareq Alsaleh: Travel mode shift analysis
Mahan Mollajafari: Travel behaviour analysis using pre-trained ML models
Alemtsehay Subhatu: Ontology for infrastructure needs of migrants
Thet workshop was also attended by researchers from McGill, ETS, and Concordia. Additionally, professionals from ministry of transportation Quebec, ARTM, and a few more agencies in the region attended. Toronto Metropolitan University, Concordia University Activity 2024-10-04 Farooq, B. ,
