About Dr Smit
Hey there! When I'm not immersed in the dynamic world of transport modeling, I find great joy in sharing my knowledge as a passionate tutor. With expertise in traffic flow theory, transport planning, statistics, data analysis, and visualization, I’ve had the privilege of guiding over 50 university students through online platforms like Superprof Australia. As an industry expert with a PhD in transportation engineering from QUT Brisbane, my research delves into spatiotemporal traffic flow data, utilizing Big Data analytics. I work with tools like R Studio, Python, Excel, and Power BI to process, aggregate, and extract insights from large datasets. Additionally, I apply spatial data analysis and visualization techniques using CARTO, Tableau, and Kepler, emphasizing the critical role of visualization in Big Data analysis. I also hold a master's degree in Transportation Engineering, complementing my background as a Civil Engineer. Curious to learn more? You can check out some fantastic reviews from my students on my Superprof Australia profile. I am truly passionate about education and helping others grasp complex concepts in an engaging and meaningful way. Together, we can embark on a transformative learning journey, exploring the realms of data analysis, statistics, and much more!

In my lessons, I bring the world of data analysis to life by immersing my students in real data scenarios. Through the power of R, Python, and Excel, I guide them through the fundamentals of data analysis, showcasing how these tools can unlock valuable insights from complex datasets. We dive into various techniques, from data cleaning and preprocessing to exploratory data analysis and statistical modeling. But it doesn't stop there. I believe that visualization plays a crucial role in the field of Big Data Analysis. That's why I introduce my students to spatial data analysis and visualization tools like CARTO, TABLEAU, and Kepler. By harnessing the capabilities of these tools, we explore the significance of visual representation in understanding patterns, trends, and relationships within large datasets. We uncover the art of transforming raw data into compelling visual narratives that can be easily comprehended and communicated. Throughout our lessons, I foster an interactive and hands-on learning environment. I encourage my students to actively engage with the material, ask questions, and participate in practical exercises that reinforce their understanding. By using real-world data sets, we bridge the gap between theory and application, allowing my students to grasp the practical implications of data analysis in various domains, including transportation, urban planning, and beyond. Join me on this educational journey, where we unravel the secrets hidden within data, harness the power of statistical tools, and paint vibrant visualizations that bring insights to life. Together, we'll build a strong foundation in data analysis and visualization, empowering you to confidently navigate the world of Big Data with both skill and creativity.

We had SMIT as our teammate a few years back. We are an academic coaching institute in India. SMIT is a very honest and hard-working lad. He is one of those kind of guys who will say a clear no if he himself isn't confident with the topic rather than messing up later. And if he takes up something than I am 100% sure you can consider it done with fun and ease. He's that kind of a guy.
My experience of studying with him was really amazing because of the way he explains topics. It is really satisfying as he gives real-life examples which helps us learn better, and the notes which sir provides really help us to understand the chapter properly. And the best part is that he makes it a friendly environment which in turn makes the students feel comfortable to ask any question without hesitating!!
Smit has always been driven to develop his skills as a teacher. His teaching strengths and positive qualities are quite many and his dedication is sincere. With his ability to inspire students to explore themselves I am sure that he will continue his positive influence on many students not only for the core subjects but overall.
