Biography
Dr. Nan Zheng received his BSc, MSc. and PhD degrees, in Transportation Engineering, from the Southeast University (China), Delft University of Technology, École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), in 2007, 2009, and 2014, respectively. From November 2014 to August 2015, September 2015 to September 2016, he was appointed as a Post-doc by EPFL and the Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETHZ). Since October 2016, he was with Beihang University in Beijing, as an Associate Professor in the School of Transportation. He recently joins the Institute of Transport Studies at Monash University, as a Senior Lecturer. Dr. Nan Zheng’s research interests include traffic flow theory, traffic big data, urban traffic operation and control, multi-modal and new-generation traffic management. Most of his publications goes to the prestigious journals in traffic engineering, such as in Transportation Research series (Part A, B and C) on these topics.
