During my master’s, I specialized in traffic demand analysis, employing logit and nested logit models with R programming. My thesis delved into MDCEV models. I authored a chapter book on R programming for Transportation Planning Engineers in Persian. In my Ph.D., under the SAFEWAY project, I researched traffic network disruptions, particularly focusing on simulating flood impacts on urban mobility. Awarded the 2020 FCT scholarship, I explored static and dynamic simulations, integrating traffic and flood models. Contributing to the SARIL project proposal, we successfully secured its funding. My expertise spans traffic modeling, programming, and interdisciplinary project management.
