Shahriar Iqbal Zame

Shahriar is a research associate and Ph.D. candidate under the supervision of Prof. Constantinos Antoniou, contributing to the DFG-funded SEE-FAr project, which is jointly led by Prof. Antoniou and Prof. Yusak Susilo. His research focuses on agent-based simulations, optimization, and choice modelling to explore innovative electrification and automation strategies for road freight.
He completed his master’s degree in Transportation Systems at the Technical University of Munich (TUM). His master's thesis explored a land-use-aware multi-phased approach for siting Urban Air Mobility (UAM) infrastructure in Munich, integrating multi-objective optimization and large-scale simulation techniques. Prior to that, he earned his bachelor's degree from the Islamic University of Technology (IUT) in Bangladesh and subsequently worked on the country’s first metro rail construction project, gaining hands-on experience in large-scale transport infrastructure development.
