Evy Rombaut

Evy Rombaut serves as a postdoctoral researcher at the MOBI Electromobility Research Centre, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, specializing in Business Technology and Operations Management. Her research focuses on autonomous vehicle systems, sustainable transportation, and urban mobility optimization within the Flemish Institute for Technological Research ecosystem.

Her primary research interests include autonomous vehicles (100% fingerprint match), logistics systems (24-28% focus), electric vehicle integration (22-31% emphasis), and vehicle-to-grid technology (28% focus). Her work bridges engineering and social sciences, particularly examining user acceptance (21% focus), traffic simulation modeling (22% focus), and job creation metrics (21% focus) in electromobility transitions.

Rombaut actively supervises graduate research, with notable contributions to master's theses on autonomous vehicle environmental impacts and EU regulatory frameworks. Her current projects include AccelerationMOBI (2025-2029), DESTINY carbon reduction initiatives (2024-2029), and AUGMENTED CCAM infrastructure development (2022-2025), reflecting her leadership in European sustainable transport research consortia.

She maintains active roles in PhD committees and conference organization, including the ACCAM Project Review Meeting (2024) and doctoral defenses on shared autonomous vehicle implementation. Her research output demonstrates consistent productivity with 43 publications since 2015, including 17 journal articles and 10 conference papers, achieving an h-index of 8 with 341 Scopus citations.

Rombaut's work is centered at the MOBI Electromobility Research Centre, where she contributes to the Autonomous Mobility & Logistics research focus area. Her current projects involve multi-institutional collaborations across 8 active research initiatives examining vehicle-to-grid integration, urban mobility transitions, and carbon-neutral transport solutions through both fundamental and applied research frameworks.
