| Dr. Salissou Moutari is a senior lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Physics at Queen’s University Belfast. He has extensive experience in mathematical modelling, machine learning and statistical analysis. His research concerned the development of mathematical models of traffic flow on road networks and road safety assessment. He was co-investigator on various multidisciplinary collaborative projects including ACI-NIM N195 (Action Concretée Incitative – Nouvelles Interactions des Mathématiques, France) and KEC- DASMM (Kaiserslautern Excellence Cluster – Dependable Adaptive Systems and Mathematical Modelling, Germany). His research is supported by the UK government EPSRC, Innovate UK, Department for Transport, and the Northern Ireland Invest NI. |
Dr. Vikram Pakrashi (BEng, PhD, CEng. FIEI, MASCE) is Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering and Director of UCD Centre for Mechanics. Vikram is a Chartered Engineer and has served both industry and academia working on numerical and experimental applications of dynamics and risk/probabilistic analysis on traditional (roads, bridges) and bourgeoning (wind/wave energy devices and platforms) sectors of built infrastructure. Several of his projects are partly funded by the industrial sector. His recent research activities involve analysis of dynamical systems. Vikram is interested in studying the interaction between nonlinearity and stochasticity.
Dr Vinayak Devendra Malaghan is a postdoctoral research fellow in the School of Civil, Structural, and Environmental Engineering at Trinity College Dublin.
