Dr. Md Shahin is a transport researcher specialising in travel behaviour modelling, sustainable mobility, and climate change mitigation. His work integrates advanced econometric modelling, machine-learning techniques, explainable AI, and mixed-methods behavioural research to understand how environmental, social, and policy factors shape mobility behaviours. He conducts research on public transport usage, relocation-driven behavioural adaptation, pandemic-related travel changes, road safety, travel-time reliability, and human factors in UAV operations. His broader interests include transport safety, behavioural modelling, climate change impacts, human factors in UAV systems, mobility behaviour under normative and extreme events, migration, and data-driven policies for sustainable and equitable transport systems.
