About me:

I am a researcher in transportation and traffic studies. My main research interests are travel behavior analysis and traffic flow dynamics.

In travel behavior analysis, my interest lies in the nuanced analysis of interactions between personal or household needs and resources against transportation networks and the built environment level of service and opportunities. I applied statistical analysis and inference, stated preference methods, and discrete choice analysis in my travel behavior explorations.

The second path in my academic journey is the study of traffic flow dynamics. This involves a substantial data-driven endeavor to illuminate the intricate details of traffic flow and driving behavior, emphasizing lane-change maneuvers where I used GPS trajectories of smartphones and the data of loop detectors to reconstruct the traffic flow state and analyze driving maneuvers. Such studies can pave the path for empirical analysis of many traffic flow phenomena that so far have been conducted almost purely theoretically because of a lack of suitable data.

I collaborated on many research projects such as traffic microsimulation and travel behavior analysis (in Iran), network and carbon pricing (in France), and traffic flow dynamics analysis (in Belgium, including EU-CEF project CONCORDA and the FWO project G051118N).

I am also experienced in curriculum development, teaching, and mentoring of MSc students.

Welcome to my professional space, where the pursuit of knowledge meets a genuine enthusiasm for teaching and collaborative exploration.
