Research and expertise

In my research, I apply machine learning and deep learning techniques to the domain of traffic engineering. Throughout my PhD research, my primary focus revolves around the development of microscopic traffic models using advanced machine learning methods. This encompasses the intricate dynamics of both car-following and lane-changing models, seeking to capture the nuanced behaviours inherent in complex traffic scenarios.

I am dedicated to addressing the interpretability challenges associated with machine learning methods in the realm of traffic engineering. By enhancing the interpretability of machine learning methods, I aim to not only advance the field, but also facilitate a deeper understanding of the intricate relationships governing traffic dynamics. This commitment underscores my broader objective of contributing to the development of more effective and actionable solutions within the realm of traffic engineering.

Profile

I gained my bachelor's (hons) degree in civil engineering, from Kabul University, Afghanistan, in 2015.

Subsequently, I pursued my passion in transportation-focused civil engineering, attaining my master's degree (hons), from King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, in 2021.

My current focus lies in the field of developing a microscopic traffic model using advanced machine learning methods. In this endeavor, I am particularly enthusiastic to incorporate human factors to enhance the real-world applicability of the model.
