Academic Career

Majid Rostami received the master’s and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering- majoring in Control Engineering from Shahid Bahonar University of Kerman in 2008 and Shiraz University in 2018, respectively. With a background in control engineering, he has held roles in various industries. Since 2020, he has served as a Postdoctoral Fellow Researcher at the Technical University of Munich. Dr. Rostami was a visiting scholar at the Technical University of Crete in 2016-2017 and 2021. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Bundeswehr University of Munich from 2019 to 2020. In 2023, he was awarded a scholarship from the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) for a short-term research stay at Kyoto University. His research focuses on automatic control and traffic flow modeling, particularly the application of connected and automated vehicles in Intelligent Transportation Systems. Dr. Rostami has also served as a guest editor for Frontiers in Future Transportation journal.
