Dr Majid Soolaki

I am a Research Fellow at the University of Westminster, specialising in air traffic management, operations research, optimisation & simulation, supply chain management, transportation, and passenger behavior. My expertise lies in developing innovative solutions to complex logistical and transportation challenges. I have extensive experience in applying optimisation techniques and simulation models to enhance the efficiency and resilience of transportation systems.
Previously, I worked as a Postdoctoral Researcher at University College Dublin (UCD) from 2019 to 2021, focusing on the food supply chain. During this time, I developed models to optimise inventory management, streamline distribution networks, and improve overall operational efficiency in supply chain management.
In addition, my work in air traffic management involves developing algorithms and strategies to alleviate congestion, and reduce travel times, and lower environmental impact. I am passionate about leveraging data-driven approaches to inform decision-making and improve transportation system performance.
With an interdisciplinary background, I approach complex problems from multiple perspectives, combining theoretical insights with practical applications to create impactful solutions in air traffic management, transportation, supply chain management, and logistics.
