Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlysha Van Duynhoven is a geospatial information scientist and computer scientist with a decade of experience researching and developing geospatial AI and spatial analysis methods. Currently a Research Fellow at Simon Fraser University, she progressed through graduate research and multiple teaching roles in the SAM Lab, applying deep learning and spatiotemporal modeling to land cover change and spatial analysis problems. She blends strong software skills—Node.js, C++, web mapping (Mapbox, Leaflet, ArcGIS API) and database work—with hands-on experience building reproducible research workflows and teaching technical GIS tools. Alysha’s background includes industry internships where she contributed to ODBC drivers and energy intelligence web apps, giving her a rare mix of systems-level debugging and user-facing product development. Based in Coquitlam, BC, she is completing a PhD in Geographic Information Science, focusing on practical geospatial AI applications that bridge academic research and deployable mapping solutions. Colleagues note she pairs rigorous technical attention with an ability to communicate complex spatial methods to students and stakeholders.
