Research profile
Santa Maiti was a Research Follow at the University College London (2024-2026).
Her research has been international, interdisciplinary, and inter-sectoral. Santa received her PhD in Intelligent Transportation from The University of Melbourne. She did her Masters (in Research) from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in Information Technology. She worked in Tata Consultancy Services Innovation Lab, India, for three years as a researcher. Santa’s research focuses on modelling and simulation of transportation systems, including conventional and emerging transportation systems, connected and autonomous vehicles, shared mobility, and the application of machine learning and artificial intelligence in transportation. She authored more than 20 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, conferences, and patents. Currently, she is involved in the EU-funded project SYNCHROMODE that aims to develop data driven ICT tools for improving the management of transport operations from a multimodal perspective and managing the overall transport network as a whole. She is responsible for modeling and developing of transport simulation modules for new mobility services through innovative research.
Santa received Melbourne Research Scholarship grant MIFRS and MIRS during her PhD. She was awarded a highly competitive EuroTechPostdoc Marie Sklodowska-Curie research grant for her postdoc research. Santa authored more than 20 scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals, conferences, and patents.
In the SYNCHROMODE, Santa was responsible for modeling and developing of transport simulation modules for new mobility services through innovative research.
Santa’s teaching activities span in the roles of either a lecturer or a teaching assistant with responsibilities of creating the course materials and assignments, delivering lectures, and assessing the students. She taught and assisted different subjects including ITS System Architectures and Applications, Algorithms and Complexity, Algorithms and Data Structures, Design of Algorithms at Bachelor and Master’s level in the University of Melbourne, Monash University and Technical University of Munich. She organized a crash course on R and Python to provide students with some elementary knowledge and hands-on of programming languages. She supervised a bachelor student during his summer internship and supervised master students in their projects at IIT Kharagpur, India. At TUM Munich she co-supervised a master thesis ‘On the Computation of Accessibility Provided by Dynamic Transportation Modes’.
