Research Interests

Asif is a PhD Candidate in Civil Engineering at the Department of Civil and Resource Engineering, Dalhousie University, Canada. He is an enthusiastic transportation researcher and a strong believer in sustainable transport given its high capacity, energy efficient, and low emissions movement. He has published 13+ peer-reviewed journal articles, along with delivering 30+ presentations at conferences and workshops held in Washington, D.C., Vienna, Toronto, Montreal, Edmonton and Halifax. His contributions have been recognized through several local, provincial, and national awards such as Transport Canada Scholarship, Izaak Walton Killam Predoctoral Scholarship and Nova Scotia Research and Innovation Scholarship.

His research interests are integrated transport and land-use planning, travel behavior modelling, microsimulation of urban systems, statistics, and econometrics.
