Researching Multimodality and Multimodal Urban Mobility in the face of Car-sprawling
Mohamed Elgohary is a Ph.D. Candidate in Urban Planning, Design, and Policy at Politecnico di Milano and a Visiting Researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His work revolves around leveraging advanced computational methods, transit simulations, and data analytics to optimize transport systems and promote more sustainable, inclusive urban environments.
Supported by PNRR Spoke 9 Urban Mobility, and the EIT Urban Mobility Doctoral Training Network, Mohamed’s doctoral research focuses on multimodal mobility hubs, synthetic demand modeling, and micro-simulation analyses. In his M.Sc. thesis, he has used MATSim and other tools to evaluate paratransit movement patterns, participated in micro-simulation forecasting for tram projects, and taught graduate-level planning courses at Politecnico di Milano.
Mohamed’s international perspective is informed by his Erasmus experience at HafenCity Universität Hamburg (HCU) and a research internship at Ghent University. He holds a Master’s in Urban Planning and Policy Design from Politecnico di Milano, where he refined his skills in architectural thinking and data-driven urban analysis.
Passionate about cultural heritage and global collaboration, Mohamed has also volunteered with UNESCO, lending his expertise to restoration and community-based initiatives. Combining academic rigor with real-world impact, his mission is to help cities worldwide become more resilient, equitable, and responsive to today’s complex mobility challenges.
