Nick Stamatiadis

Nick Stamatiadis is a Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Kentucky's Stanley and Karen Pigman College of Engineering, where he has held continuous faculty appointments since 1990. His career progression includes Assistant Professor (1990-1996), Associate Professor (1996-2002), and full Professor (2002-present).

His research focuses on transportation safety and multimodal infrastructure, with core expertise in traffic safety analysis, highway geometric design, human factors, public transportation, and congestion mitigation. Key research areas include Complete Streets implementation, e-scooter and bicycle infrastructure safety, and context-sensitive roadway design. His work bridges engineering practice with policy development, particularly through collaborations with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC).

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2023-2025) reveals strong emphasis on multimodal safety evaluation, context-sensitive design methodologies, and emerging micromobility systems. His research consistently integrates data analytics with practical transportation solutions, focusing on quantifiable benefits of infrastructure improvements and safety countermeasures. Recent work demonstrates growing interest in spatiotemporal demand patterns for shared mobility and advanced scoring approaches for project prioritization.

Stamatiadis maintains active engagement with transportation practice through community outreach initiatives within the College of Engineering, though no specific scientific awards are documented in the source materials.

His educational background includes a Ph.D. (1990) and M.Sc. (1985) in Transportation Engineering from Michigan State University, and a B.Sc. in Surveying Engineering from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (1983). This foundation supports his comprehensive approach to transportation systems analysis and safety evaluation.
