New visitor in our group: welcome Silke!

We’re delighted to welcome Silke Kaiser for a three-month visit to work with Prof. Lima Azevedo. Coming from the Hertie School in Berlin, Silke is well-versed in sustainable transport and the intelligent use of machine learning.

With a master’s degree from Sorbonne-Panthéon and SciencesPo Paris, she’s tackling an interesting challenge: estimating the volume of bicycles in cities using different data sources and machine learning algorithms. This effort is key to planning more bicycle-friendly urban environments and she wants to contribute to improving the quality of life in urban spaces.

Silke’s stay promises great discussions and insights on how to make cities greener and more efficient. Welcome Silke!

New Ph.D. graduation in our group: congrats Ioanna!

On January 15th, 2024, Ioanna Arkoudi successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis entitled “Embedding Representations for Discrete Choice and Travel Demand models.

Congratulations, Ioanna!

MLSM Group at TRB 2024!

Members of our MLSM group attended the 103^nd Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting (TRB 2024) in Washington D.C. from 7-11 January 2024. They preented/co-authored eight interesting papers. Check out below for the full list of papers.

New member in our group: welcome Andrew!

Andrew (Dang Viet Anh) Nguyen recently joined our group as a PhD student and will be working on the “Proactive Traffic Control through AI and Big Data” project under the supervision of Filipe Rodrigues as the main supervisor and Carlos Lima Azevedo as the co-supervisor. His research at DTU will focus on developing a new generation of proactive traffic control approaches by integrating a novel fully-Bayesian context-aware traffic prediction model into a Reinforcement Learning (RL) framework.

Andrew graduated from Nanyang Technological University (NTU) with an MSc in Supply Chain and Logistics. Before joining our group, Andrew worked as a research engineer in intelligent systems and optimization at Singapore Management University, where he worked on integrating Deep Reinforcement Learning into Metaheuristics to solve variants of Vehicle Routing Problems.

We wish him a fun and productive time during his stay with us! 😊

Seminar by Wencan Mao

Wencan Mao recently visited our group as a Ph.D. student from Aalto University, Finland. She is cooperating with Rico Kruger from our group.

New project in our group: congrats Francisco!

Villum synergy is a program aiming to strengthen interdisciplinary research and collaborations that combine methodological expertise within data science with domain expertise in other research areas such as technical, natural, or social sciences. This year, 15 projects have been selected and awarded a grant of DKK 3 million each to enhance such collaborations.

New member in our group: welcome Alysha!

Alysha Chamadia recently joined our group as a PhD student and will be working jointly on the eMotional Cities and IntraUrban projects with Otto Anker Nielsen as main supervisor, and Carlos Lima Azevedo and Jesper Ingvardson as co-supervisors. Her research is focused on human-centered modeling of urban mobility and travel behavior.

Seminar by Bianca Pascariu

As part of her visit to DTU, Bianca Pascariu presented her work on Integrating passenger demand prediction in real-time rail traffic management to the Division for Transportation Science.

New member in our group: welcome Bianca!

Bianca Pascariu will be staying with us for a month as a visiting postdoctoral researcher from Université Gustave Eiffel in Lille, France.

MLSM Group at IEEE ITSC-2023!
