Dr. Ali Osman Pektas, www.statprofs.com I had been working as an Associate Professor at Bahcesehir University in Hydrology and environment department before I came to Canada in 2016. Additionally, I was coordinating Big Data and Management Ms. Program at the university. So in addition to water-related lessons (Undergraduate), I was giving Big Data and Marketing analyses lessons at the graduate level. My expertise is data modeling. My Ph.D. thesis focuses on data based watershed models including both lumped and spatial models and was completed in 2012. I have published more than 20 scientific papers during the last 3 years and I have made 5 presentations at international conferences. In most of these papers, my main role is modeling the data and finding patterns in the dataset. In addition to teaching and research activities, during these 3 years, I have taken 5 projects, which totally have approx. 1.2 million dollars.
