Pr. Nicolas Chiabaut
​
​Professor at the LICIT (ENTPE / IFSTTAR, University of Lyon), his current research interests involve in creating and using multi-modal urban transportation systems models to design control strategies that can help make urban networks more efficient and environmentally sustainable. One questions of particular interest is how to account for transit system and city logistics in dynamics traffic flow models. More precisely, he concentrates his efforts on developing parsimonious models to describe the aggregate behavior of urban transportation systems.
Dr. Cécile Bécarie
​
Research Associate at the LICIT (ENTPE / IFSTTAR, University of Lyon) , she holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics and Parallel Computing (1998) and she is in charge of simulation platforms by the LICIT. She is a specialist in traffic simulation and she has been responsible for the Symuvia platform for five years: design, development and implementation of new modules according to research needs, subcontracting supervision, support and maintenance. She is involved in several research projects using the Symuvia plateform for calibration and validation operations, integration in virtual reality platforms, connection with traffic-related emission models (noise, fuel consumption, air pollutant, …), design of database for input and output data.
Dr. Jean Krug
​
Research Engineer at the LICIT (ENTPE / IFSTTAR, University of Lyon), his current research interests include the estimation of the travel demand for the city of Lyon, the demand downscaling processes at street scale, the design of the networks and associated features (shortest paths, mathematical graphs). Also, he is carrying out simulations using the microscopic traffic simulation platform Symuvia in order to provide data for the simulation game sessions.

Mahendra Paipuri (2017-2019)

PostDoc at LICIT working on MAGnUM project. He is working on the multimodal dynamic simulations of large scale transportation systems. His work includes extending the existing framework of trip-based macroscopic models using MFD modelling that were developed within the group to multimodal networks by taking public transportation into account. He graduated as Mechanical Engineer in his bachelor studies, while his Master and Doctoral studies were focused on Numerical methods for PDEs especially, classical Finite elements and Discontinuous Galerkin methods.
Dr. Deepak Ingole (2017-2020)
​
He is a post-doc researcher at LICIT (affiliated to IFSTTAR, ENTPE, and University of Lyon) and working on perimeter control of urban transportation systems using Model Predictive Control (MPC). In 2017, he received the PhD degree in Process Control Engineering from the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, Slovakia. Before moving to Slovakia he was a project engineer for 2 years (2012-2014) in Virtual Labs at College of Engineering Pune, India where he completed his Masters of Technology (M. Tech) degree in Instrumentation and Control Engineering in 2012. His research interests include perimeter control of traffic networks, model predictive control, universal numbers, process control, and embedded systems.
Dr. Guilhem Mariotte (2015-2020)

​He graduated in 2014 from the civil engineering school Mines Nancy (France), and also got a joint MSc in natural and industrial risk management with the Engineering School of Geology (Nancy, France). During his trainings he focused on simulation tool development and statistical analysis applied to geotechnical engineering. His research interests include now large-scale transportation systems, new challenges in urban mobility and traffic flow modeling and simulation.
He just obtained his PhD (Fall 2018) by performing this tremendous song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po_mCbSzc6I
Dr. Sergio Batista (2015-2019)

He graduated in 2012 in Astrophysics and in 2013 in Mathematical Engineering at the Faculty of Sciences, University of Porto (Portugal). He is currently doing research on the MFD simulation and the application of dynamic traffic assignment. His research focuses mainly on the scaling of microscopic into macroscopic networks as well as the modeling of user's behavior for route and mode choice, for the MFD simulation. His main scientific interests are traffic engineering and applied mathematics.​​
​He just obtained his PhD (Fall 2018) and celebrated this by providing to the team litres of Portuguese wine.
