Bat-hen Nahmias-Biran serves as a jointly appointed senior lecturer in the Porter School of Environmental Studies and School of Social and Policy Studies at Tel-Aviv University. She is also head of the Future Mobility Lab at Tel-Aviv University and a Research Affiliate in the ITS Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She did her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at the Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Technion and received her PhD in Transportation Systems from the Technion. She was a Postdoctoral Associate at MIT at Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART), Future Urban Mobility (FM) lab. Before joining Tel-Aviv University, she was a senior lecturer at Ariel University. Her research fields lay at the intersection of transportation systems and policy. She is investigating the potential and impacts of innovations and New Mobility forms on transportation systems with an explicit focus on large-scale complex systems, transport-environmental policies, future/automated mobility solutions, and equity. She especially enjoys doing interdisciplinary research, and use state-of-the-art methodologies in behavioral models, simulation, machine learning, data collection, and analytical tools.
