Research and Academic Staff
Maria Kamargianni
Professor of Transport & Energy
Transport modeller
Maria is the Head of MaaSLab. She is an expert in the MaaS concept. Her work mainly focuses on MaaS product design and pricing, demand and supply analysis, and business models. She has extensive experience in consumer choice modelling, big data handling, survey design and transport modeling. She is a Professor in Transport & Energy at UCL Energy Institute.
Manos Chaniotakis
Lecturer in Transport Modelling and Machine Learning
His research focuses on modelling and simulation of transportation systems, including conventional and emerging transportation systems, demand modelling, and machine learning in transportation.
Jishnu Narayan
Research Fellow in Transport Modelling
Jishnu’s research focus on transport systems modeling with a focus on planning and operations of public transport and emerging mobility systems, their dynamics with users (demand-supply interactions with equilibrium models), crowd behavior modeling (wayfinding/route-choice and evacuation modeling), and the application of such models to make transport systems more efficient and sustainable.
