Muhammad Sajjad Ansar

I am a Mitacs Elevate Postdoctoral Fellow (Industry Partner: City of Toronto) at Transportation and Land Use Planning Research (TransForm) Laboratory, currently working with Prof. Raktim Mitra to develop a method to generate reliable estimates of the GHG emissions impacts of current and future cycling infrastructure in Toronto. Additionally, I am conducting research on the impacts of shared e-scooter and e-bike systems in suburban municipalities. My background in Civil (Transportation) Engineering includes advanced modelling of driver behaviour in automated vehicles and human factors in mixed traffic environments using Virtual Reality and Digital Twin setup. My current postdoctoral role allows me to combine my expertise in econometric modelling with my passion for advancing data-informed policy making.
