Professor Khandker Nurul Habib completed his Ph.D. in 2007 from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Toronto. After finishing his Ph.D., he joined the University of Alberta as an assistant professor in civil engineering. He worked for the University of Alberta from 2008 to 2010 and was responsible for re-building the graduate program in transportation engineering. He moved to Toronto to join his Alma Mater in 2010. Currently, he is leading the research programs in sustainable transportation planning, demand modelling and travel survey methods (the Travel Demand Modelling Group: TDMG) at the University of Toronto Transportation Research Institute (UTTRI) of the civil engineering department. Professor Nurul Habib has extensive research and consulting experiences in transportation engineering and planning. His overall research focus is sustainable transportation planning and policy development. For this, he recognizes that we need a clear understanding of peoples' transportation behaviour and appropriate methodology for capturing such behaviour while forecasting demand for transportation infrastructure or results of any transportation and land use policies. For his pioneering contribution in these areas, he received a number of national and international awards. These include Eric Pass Award (honorable mention) from International Association of Travel Behaviour Research (IATBR), Pyke Johnson Award from Transportation Research Board (TRB), Early Researcher Award from the Ministry of Economic Development and Innovation (MEDI) Ontario and Minister's Award of Excellent in Process Innovation from Alberta Ministry of Transportation.
