Bio: 

Antonis F. Lentzakis is a Postdoctoral Research Associate at the Future Urban Mobility IRG, part of Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology (SMART/FM). His current research focuses on the extension and enhancement of DynaMIT2.0, a system that employs simulation-based Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA), for traffic estimation, prediction, and control, developed by the MIT Intelligent Transportation Systems Lab. He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Nanyang Technological University, a MSc in Operations Research and Production Engineering & Management from the Technical University of Crete.
