Nikolas Geroliminis

Nikolas Geroliminis is a Full Professor at École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) and heads the Urban Transport Systems Laboratory (LUTS). His academic journey includes a diploma in Civil Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, followed by an M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. Before joining EPFL, he served as an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota. His research focuses on developing sustainable transportation systems by improving existing infrastructure, with particular emphasis on urban transportation systems, traffic flow theory, public transportation, and optimization of large-scale networks. Geroliminis has made significant contributions to the field, including creating an open-science large-scale dataset of naturalistic urban trajectories collected by drone swarms. He serves as an Associate Editor for several prestigious journals and has received numerous accolades for his work on modeling and controlling traffic congestion in large-scale urban multimodal networks. His research has been widely influential, particularly his work on urban-scale macroscopic fundamental diagrams and traffic control, which has shaped modern understanding of urban mobility patterns and transportation system management.
