Yu Jiang

Yu Jiang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Transportation Systems Modelling at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), within the Department of Technology, Management and Economics. He is actively engaged in research and supervision, with a strong focus on transportation science and systems optimization. He is accepting PhD students and maintains an active research profile with numerous ongoing projects and publications.

Education:

• PhD, The University of Hong Kong (2010–2014)

His research interests include static and dynamic transit/traffic assignment, network design, infrastructure resilience and vulnerability, multi-objective optimization, and metaheuristics. These areas are central to improving urban mobility, public transport efficiency, and sustainable transportation systems. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to sustainable cities and responsible consumption.

Recent publications (2025) reflect a strong trend in applying advanced optimization and machine learning techniques to urban transportation challenges, including traffic signal control, last-mile delivery, intermodal travel behaviour, and demand prediction across shared mobility systems. The research spans both theoretical modelling and practical case studies.
