Zahid was a member of the Wildfire Analytics team between 2020 and 2022 while completing an MSc in Transportation Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Alberta. He also holds a BSc from the Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET).

Zahid's MSc thesis, Transportation Vulnerability Analysis for Wildfire Evacuations, addressed the interaction between wildfires and the transportation network with the objective of helping transportation planners and wildfire emergency management personnel to better understand how the transportation network might perform in an emergency wildfire evacuation situation.

Zahid's research was co-supervised by Dr. Amy Kim (Multimodal Mobility Systems Lab) and Dr. Jen Beverly at Wildfire Analytics.
