Shadi Sharif Azadeh, postdoc at the Transport and Mobility Laboratory (ENAC) has received a fellowship from the EPFL Fellows international postdoctoral fellowship programme co-funded by Marie Curie. Her project is entitled: New approach to transportation demand modeling using aggregated data
Shadi's research is focused on the integration of choice models with optimization in the domain of transport. The objective of this research is to propose a data driven mathematical model. The aim is to capture passengers' behavior while optimizing the network efficiency based on the service level. In addition, she aims at estimating substitution probabilities when resources change due to stock outs. The outcome is crucial for inventory control and resource allocation in transportation systems to keep the service level as high as possible while making the whole system profitable.
Shadi has been appointed as EPFL fellow co-funded by Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowships at the EPFL. She currently works as Postdoc at the Transport and Mobility Laboratory (ENAC) at EPFL under the supervision of Professor Michel Bierlaire. She also holds a research affiliate position at the ITS lab at MIT.
