About

I am a Research Fellow in Choice Modelling and Machine Learning at the Institute for Transport Studies (ITS), University of Leeds, Uk, where I work on combining machine learning and choice modelling techniques to better utilize novel data sources to capture traveller decisions in the changing mobility landscape. In winter 2021, I received a PhD in Transportation Engineering at LiTrans lab of Ryerson University, under the supervision of Bilal Farooq. My research mainly focuses on Cyber-Physical Transportation Systems, i.e. Virtual Reality and Ubiquitous Networks, and more specifically, their application in transportation behavioural studies.

I have worked as a teaching assistant for the following courses:

• CVL316: Transportation Engineering, Winter 2018 and Winter 2019, Ryerson University
• CVL910: Transportation planning, Fall 2017 and Fall 2020, Ryerson University
• Python for Transportation (as the Python instructor for CVL910)
• Simulation, Fall 2016, Sharif University of Technology
