modeling what's next.

I’m Mina Fahim — a GIS engineer and environmental researcher building geospatial systems and predictive models that turn satellite data, air-quality measurements, and remote sensing into decisions you can trust.

A researcher who ships software,
and an engineer who publishes.

Trained in civil engineering and geomatics, currently writing my PhD on predictive modeling for air-quality forecasting at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University.

Vilnius · LT Mina Fahim 54.6872° N, 25.2797° E

For the past five years I’ve worked at the intersection of remote sensing, GIS engineering, and machine learning — first on Egypt’s National Spatial Data Infrastructure, now as a GIS Data Engineer at ViaGIS in Lithuania, where I design web-based mapping solutions used by agencies and enterprises across the Baltics.

In parallel, my doctoral research builds hybrid ML / remote-sensing models to forecast PM10 and NO2 levels, integrating satellite imagery, ground stations, and meteorological inputs. The goal is to make atmospheric pollution visible, attributable, and predictable.

— mapping the invisible, one pixel at a time.
