Team Members
Gabriel Dadashev
PhD Student
Gabriel (Gabi) Dadashev serves as a Research Engineer at the Future Mobility Lab. He holds a Master's degree in Mathematics and dual Bachelor's degrees, one in Mathematics and Computer Science, and the other in Civil Engineering, all earned at Ariel University in 2021. His expertise spans a broad spectrum, encompassing the construction of pollution models, data analysis, programming, and the calibration of transportation simulation frameworks. He actively engages with advanced platforms like Aimsun Next and SimMobility by MIT.
Hongwei Li
PhD Student
Hongwei Li is a PhD student at the Future Mobility Lab. He received both his Bachelor’s degree in Traffic Engineering and Master’s degree in Communication and Transportation from Southeast University, China. His previous research focused on multimodal transportation, with an emphasis on heterogeneous demand perception, travel behaviour analysis, and mobility scheme optimization. Currently, his research interests center on Mobility as a Service (MaaS), particularly in applying machine learning and artificial intelligence to provide integrated and intelligent mobility services for the future.
Alina Zukin
M.A. Student
Alina is a researcher at the Future Mobility Lab pursuing her master’s in Environmental Studies at Tel Aviv University. She holds a bachelor’s degree in philosophy and literature with a focus on political theory, during which she researched experimental aesthetics. After completing her undergraduate studies, Alina spent years working in the autonomous vehicle industry, developing a strong interest in the connections between urban mobility, environmental issues, and accessibility for disadvantaged groups. Her current research focuses on environmental justice and equity in urban planning.
Samarth Ghoslya
Postdoctoral Researcher
Samarth Ghoslya is a postdoctoral researcher at the Future Mobility Lab. His current work involves designing and integrating the Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS) framework and its components into a novel agent-based simulation platform, followed by real-world demonstrations. This includes evaluating the market share of MaaS, its impact on individual travel behavior, transportation networks, and mobility service providers. He earned his Ph.D. as a joint degree between Sapienza University of Rome (Italy) and CY Cergy Paris University (France), focused on System Optimal Ridesharing and Traffic Equilibrium.
Eliyahu cohen
Research Assistant
Eliyahu is a dedicated Research Assistant at the Future Mobility Lab, bringing a multidisciplinary background in Mechanical Engineering and Earth Sciences (BSc). His expertise lies in leveraging advanced data analysis, simulation techniques, and programming tools to enhance the precision of predictive models and drive innovative solutions.
​
Passionate about addressing the challenges of climate change, sustainable energy, and environmental science, Eliyahu contributes to groundbreaking research focused on the future of mobility and its environmental implications. His work is integral to developing efficient, data-driven strategies that align with the lab's commitment to creating sustainable, on-demand mobility solutions.
Eyal Mehoudar
M.A. Student
Eyal, aged 42 and a father of three, with a BSc in Computer Science and an MSc in Cognitive Psychology. He is currently pursuing an MA in Environmental Studies, reflecting his dedication to addressing the climate crisis. His professional journey includes working in a family office where he integrates his understanding of climate change into portfolio management. Eyal's interest extends to leveraging technology for traffic flow management, aiming to reduce GHG emissions from road transport.
Keren-Or Rosenbaum
Ph.D. Student
Keren-Or Rosenbaum is a Ph.D. Student at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology under the supervision of Prof. Yoram Shiftan and Dr. Bat-hen Nahmias-Biran. She holds an M.Sc. in Information Systems Engineering, B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Management and a B.A. in Economics and Management (summa cum laude), all from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. Her master thesis dealt with the integration of Systems Dynamics (SD) in Object-Process Methodology ISO 19450 (OPM), for improved model analysis for Health systems. In the last years she was a Data Engineer and Researcher in the Head of Logistics Technology Division, Research and Methods Department.
