معرفی
Dr. Hamid Taghavifar is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical, Industrial and Aerospace Engineering at Concordia University. His research focuses on Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs), Robotics, Control Systems, Mechatronics, and Artificial Intelligence (AI), with a particular emphasis on Reinforcement Learning and Intelligent Transportation Systems. He teaches courses such as MECH 6681 (Dynamics and Control of Nonholonomic Systems), MECH373 (Instrumentation and Measurements), and MIAE 215 (Programming for Mechanical and Industrial Engineers).
His work involves developing advanced control algorithms for autonomous systems, energy management in electric vehicles, and fault-tolerant robotics. He leads the Lab for Advanced Control and Intelligent Transportation Systems (LACITS), where research integrates AI with cyber-physical systems to enhance automated vehicle decision-making and safety. Recent publications address socially aware autonomous driving, reinforcement learning applications, and robust control methodologies for nonholonomic systems.
Dr. Taghavifar supervises Mechanical Engineering (MASc and PhD) students, advising on projects related to autonomous systems, robotics, and control engineering. His research often involves experimental validation and collaboration with industry partners to advance practical applications of control theory and AI.
