Relevant Experience
1. University of British Columbia (UBC), Kelowna, Canada (Sep. 2017– Feb. 2020)
Graduate Research Assistant, Sustainable Transport Safety Lab;ref: ✉ gord.lovegrove@ubc.ca
Developed and applied macro-level collision prediction models using R for two cities (i.e.
Kelowna, BC, Canada, and Dhaka, Bangladesh)
Developed retrofit neighborhood design of existing neighborhoods to make neighborhood
sustainable and safe by promoting active transportation and healthier lifestyle, improving
transit-oriented development, increasing green spaces, reducing automobile dependency, and
reducing the number of traffic collision across the neighborhood
Analyzed, reviewed and developed different land use policy and regulatory frameworks to
build a sustainable neighborhood
Analyzed effectiveness of existing policy and recommended improvements to the policies
Prepared and presented technical reports to the public, clients, and stakeholders, which
communicated complex ideas
Performed data collection and analyzed transportation data and conducted traffic and transit
analysis using ArcGIS;
Relevant Projects
1. Project on “Business case study for Okanagan Valley Electric Regional Passenger Rail
(OVER PR)” Ref: ✉ gord.lovegrove@ubc.ca
Developed the first-ever, business case study for Okanagan Valley Electric Regional Passenger
Rail (OVER PR) in collaboration with Penticton Indian Band , SMARTer Growth Partnership,
and K’ul group
Evaluated the feasibility, strategic & operational consideration of Hydrail in Okanagan Valley,
development of alternatives (PEST) & strategic risk assessment (SWOT) analysis, social cost-
benefit analysis, capital and operating costs, benefits/costs ratio (BCR), sensitivity analysis,
implementation strategy and project schedule and performance.
