Ahmed's research interests include land use and transportation planning, transit operations and planning, travel behaviour analysis including both motorized (Auto and Transit) and non-motorized (Bicycle and pedestrian) modes of transportation, travel behaviour of disadvantaged populations (seniors and people with disabilities) and measurements of accessibility and mobility in urban contexts.

Aryana is a postdoctoral researcher and coordinator of the REM project with Transportation Research at McGill (TRAM). Broadly, her work engages with the study of cities, exploring the intersections between everyday travel, urban infrastructure, and environmental politics. This research advances an understanding of the need for well-connected networks for active travel, traffic-calming measures, and meaningful consultation processes with local citizens to address a variety of particular needs. Building on ethnographic and mixed methods, her work aims to contribute to broad-based understandings of mobility justice that are sensitive to the particularities of local contexts.

Meredith finished her masters in Civil Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, where she developed a keen interest in the link between travel behaviour, travel satisfaction and the built environment. In her masters thesis, she studied the impact the COVID-19 pandemic had on the relationship between Montrealers’ travel satisfaction and their immediate neighbourhood using GIS and survey data, and hypothesized how the the pandemic could impact planning and travel in the long term. Her main research interests are active transportation, more specifically walking, and how urban planning can contribute to healthy and environmentally-friendly travel behaviour.

Hisham is a PhD student, with a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Architectural Engineering and Urban Design from the Faculty of Engineering, Alexandria University, Egypt. During his course of study, he developed an interest in physical urban design and how people use public urban spaces. This led his master’s research to focus on pedestrian stationary and movement behavior in urban spaces, connecting spatial theories with built environment realities and social interactions. Hisham’s current research interest revolves around accessibility by public transport and its relation to improving quality of life of individuals. He has special interest in understanding the travel needs of marginalized groups and its relation to accessibility to generate practice-ready policy recommendations.

Thiago graduated from his B.Sc. and MSc. in Civil Engineering at the Universidade Tecnológica Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil, where he developed in interested in transport policy, transport satisfaction, and travel behavior. In his master thesis, he developed an integrated framework of social psychology and marketing theories to explain user loyalty towards public transport using survey data and structural equation modeling. His main research interests are public transport, more specifically satisfaction and attitudes, and how urban policies can foster sustainable travel.

Having developed an interest for transportation research in his last year of undergraduate studies, Lancelot has been working with TRAM since May 2021. He has graduated with a BASC in Sustainability, Science and Society and a MSc in Geography both at McGill University and is now pursuing a PhD in Planning, Policy and Design in the School of Urban Planning. While he collected and studied detailed micro-scale walkability data for his Master's thesis, Lancelot is now exploring post-pandemic pricing and funding issues for public-transit and related equity considerations for his doctoral research. Lancelot is also passionate about the intersection between transportation and planning regulation as well as public perceptions of transportation services and projects.

Rodrigo is a PhD student who graduated from his B.Sc. and MSc. in Civil Engineering at the University of Concepción, Chile, where he developed a deep interest in urban mobility and transport planning. In both his undergraduate and master’s theses he studied the interrelationships of different dimensions that shape people’s travel behavior, including time use, social interaction, and modal choice. Having been born and lived most of his life in Chile, he has a deep concern about problems that are especially relevant in the Global South, and which may be addressed through efficient transport planning, such as income and social inequality. In his last years before coming to Montreal, he collaborated in different research centers where he studied topics related to covid-19 spread and mobility patterns in the Chilean context. Today, he’s excited to start learning and collaborating in TRAM’s research.

Paul Redelmeier is a master’s student at the McGill School of Urban Planning, where he is pursuing a concentration in Transportation Planning. He completed his undergraduate degree at Williams College, majoring in Economics and Political Science. Prior to starting at McGill, he worked as a management consultant at Oliver Wyman, where he helped tech companies design and execute organizational changes. Paul’s main research interests relate to public transportation, including how equity and ridership considerations can be balanced to deliver fair and efficient public transit.

Megan is a second-year civil engineering undergraduate at McGill University with a minor in urban studies. Her research interests focus on the intersection of civil engineering with social and urban issues, particularly in transportation infrastructure. She is interested in exploring the resilience of transportation infrastructure and how it can be optimized to promote sustainable and efficient mobility networks.
