Raian Islam Evan

Geophysicist with experience in both computational modeling and field operations. My research portfolio includes urban heat wave assessment, where I utilized STL-ARIMA and LSTM for predictive analysis, as well as riverbank erosion studies focused on susceptibility indexing. Complementing this research is my practical experience in the energy sector, where I specialized in 2D seismic exploration, field geometry planning, and structural imaging.

I am passionate about applying data-driven methods to mitigate environmental risks.
