Research interests: My research interests are modelling optimisation problems, especially in the field of transportation and logistics, and applying operational research methodologies to solve them. I have worked on planning the activities of electric vehicles in urban transportation and I am keen to continue exploring new research areas related to increasing the use of electric vehicles in the transportation sector.
