Dr. Khashayar Kazemzadeh

Biography

Khashayar Kazemzadeh is a Lecturer in Transport Planning at the University of Manchester, focusing on active mobility, electric micromobility, and user experiences within transport systems. His research delves into how people perceive safety and comfort while traveling through urban environments and aims to bridge the gap between transport engineering and behavioral science. Kazemzadeh engages in digital-twin-based video experiments to investigate cycling experiences and has held positions as a Visiting Researcher at the University of Leeds and as a Postdoctoral Researcher at Chalmers University of Technology. He obtained his PhD in Transport Roads Engineering from Lund University, along with Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Civil Transport Engineering. Kazemzadeh’s work emphasizes the development of evidence-based planning methods to support sustainable mobility systems, exploring factors such as modal shifts from private car use to public transport and the implications of technology in enhancing user experiences in transport planning. His teaching practice incorporates real-world datasets and analytical skills, contributing to the education of future transport planners about travel behavior and safety issues in emerging transport systems.
