Samitha Samaranayake recently joined our group for a year as a Guest Professor from Cornell University.
Samitha’s research interest is in mathematical modeling and algorithm design for large-scale transportation network problems, and his current focus is on problems at the intersection of public transit and ride-sharing. In particular, he is interested in hybrid transit systems—services that are designed from the ground-up to fully integrate traditional fixed-line public transit and agile, demand-responsive modes.

Nina Friser Holst has recently joined both our group and the Human Behaviour Section as a Research Assistant. Nina has a MA. Psych. from the University of Copenhagen and has a vast experience as a clinical psychologist. She will be working with Carlos Lima Azevedo and Sonja Haustein on both the eMOTIONAL Cities and the URGENT projects, where her research will focus on human behavioural experiments relating mobility choices and associated mental mechanisms and emotions.
We wish her a fun and productive time during her stay with us! 😊

Danya Li recently joined our group as a Ph.D. student and she will be working under the supervision of Professors Francisco Pereira and Rico Kruger from our group, Prof. Xiang Xu from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), and Prof. Xiao Yu from Aalto University.
Danya graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) with a Master’s in Civil Engineering. Her research will focus on developing a new generation of behavioral models at the intersection of econometrics and psychology using machine learning and virtual reality.

Mana Meskar recently joined our group as a visiting PhD student from Sharif University of Technology. She will be co-supervised by Rico Kruger and Filipe Rodrigues from our group.
Mana has received her BSc and MSc in industrial engineering from Sharif university of technology. She is particularly interested in the intersection of Data Analytics and Operations Research, with a specific focus on the subjects of Transportation and Two-sided Markets.
Her current research is on matching strategies in ride-hailing platforms and her overall goal is to uncover the factors that affect drivers’ responses to ride requests received through the platform’s dispatch system. Additionally, she aim to develop an effective machine-learning-based model for predicting drivers’ decisions to accept or reject ride requests. This model will enable platforms to make data-based decisions and form the basis for developing a strategy for ongoing dispatch center processes

Santa Maiti recently joined our group as a visiting Eurotech (Marie Skłodowska-Curie) Postdoctoral Researcher from the Technical University of Munich (TUM). Her supervisor is Prof. Constantinos Antoniou from TUM and co-supervisor is Associate Prof. Carlos Lima Azevedo from DTU.
Santa received her PhD in Intelligent Transportation (2020) from the University of Melbourne and her Masters (in Research) from the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in Information Technology (2013). She worked in Tata Consultancy Services Innovation Lab, India, for three years as a researcher. Her main research interests are intelligent transportation systems, machine learning, connected and autonomous vehicles, transportation planning, and shared mobility.
Her current research is on modular, autonomous pods (vehicles) that can physically join while traveling to allow an en-route transfer. She is using model-free Reinforcement Learning based approach to represent the pod’s mobility. The work aims to analyse pods’ mobility service in the simulation environment and compare it with private transport (taxi) service and transfer-free ridesharing (DRT) service.
