Dr. Sina Bahrami
Principal Investigator
Dr. Bahrami is a transportation-systems researcher who applies operations research, equilibrium analysis, and market design to emerging mobility. His research examines how infrastructure adapts to new vehicle technologies, how shared-economy platforms shape travel, and how cities move goods through their streets.
He earned his Ph.D. in Civil-Transportation Engineering at the University of Toronto under Prof. Matthew Roorda, then held postdoctoral positions at Toronto and the University of Michigan with Prof. Yafeng Yin. He was Assistant Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology from 2021 to 2023 and Assistant Research Scientist at Michigan from 2023 to 2026.
He serves on the editorial boards of Transportation Research Part E, Transportation Research Record, and Transportation Letters. His research has been covered by Forbes, IEEE Spectrum, Science Daily, and other outlets.

Open positions
PhD Students
The SINA Lab is recruiting two fully funded PhD students to start in Spring or Fall 2027. Ideal candidates have a background in transportation engineering, industrial engineering, or applied mathematics, and a strong interest in applying operations research to emerging mobility problems. If you are interested, please complete the interest form. Due to the high volume of inquiries, I am only able to respond to candidates whose background best matches the lab's current needs.
