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!

We are pleased to announce our team’s participation in the 26th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems ITSC 2023, which will take place in Bilbao, Bizkaia, Spain from September 24th to 28th, 2023. Our team will be presenting 4 interesting papers. Join us in our sessions if you are attending the conference. We look forward to sharing our research and insights with you. You can find below more details about our papers.

New member in our group: welcome Samitha!

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.

Upcoming Conferences: EWGT & hEART 2023

We are pleased to announce our team’s participation in not one, but two conferences, EWGT and hEART 2023, happening simultaneously this week from September 6th to 8th, 2023. Join us in our sessions if you are attending these conferences. We look forward to sharing our research and insights with you.

New member in our group: welcome Nina!

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! 😊

Summer Conferences

During this summer, our MLSM group presented two papers at two conferences. The first paper was presented at the International Symposium on Transportation Data & Modelling (ISTDM2023) held in Ispra, Italy, from June 19 to 22. The second paper was presented at the 23rd Conference of the International Federation of Operational Research Societies (IFORS2023) in Santiago, Chile, from July 10 to 14.
