June 2016 GeoMentor Spotlight
Nazgol Bagheri, Assistant professor of geography at the University of Texas, San Antonio
What was your favorite class in K-12? Physics. I always saw myself as a nuclear physics scientist; but ended up in architecture and urban planning and finally founded peace in geography, the art and science of understanding spatial phenomena and their relations.
How did you first learn about and/or use GIS? My background is architecture and urban planning in which working with AutoCAD and GIS is a must. During the summer of 2004, I took a GIS workshop at the National University of Iran, Tehran. Since then, I have moved several times across the geographical boundaries so does my love to learn more about the GIS. GIS is like an never-ending ocean.
