Biography

Nima is a Senior Lecturer in Transport and Business Analytics at the Huddersfield Business School, University of Huddersfield, UK. He is the honorary secretary and executive committee member of the Universities Transport Study Group (UTSG), which includes 60 universities across the UK (https://utsg.net/).

As principal investigator, Nima led the “Modelling Travel Behaviours During Weather-related Disruptions in West Yorkshire” project funded by the UKRI National Hub for Decarbonised, Adaptable, and Resilient Transport Infrastructures: DARe (funded by EPSRC and DfT).

Nima has around 15 years of academic and industry experience in 4 countries. He has collaborated in interdisciplinary research and technical projects with academic and business partners in the UK and worldwide.

Before joining the HBS, he worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Portsmouth, where he led the "Travel Behaviour Modelling" workstream for the Future Transport Zone Mobility-as-a-Service project (funded by the DfT) in the Solent region. He was also the PI and Co-PI of the two projects funded by Research England and Universities UK International (UUKi).

He was a Management Committee (MC) Member from Slovenia, in EU COST Action CA16222: Wider Impacts and Scenario Evaluation of Autonomous and Connected Transport between 2020-2022. He also worked as a researcher in two EU Interreg-funded projects, namely MUSE and EN-IN, and many local traffic/transportation projects in Slovenia and Turkey (Türkiye).
