Teaching

I am currently teaching Transport Networks at the School of Civil Engineering, University of Sydney.

In the past, I lectured the following courses:

  • Transport Systems (CIVL2700/9700) as the main teacher at the University of Sydney (2024).
  • Transport Networks as the main teacher at the University of Sydney (2023 – 2025).
  • Probabilities and statistics, as the main teacher, at Universidad Federico Santa María, Santiago, Chile, during 2015-2018. Here you can find past tests and exams (in Spanish).
  • Practical workshop “Design of a public transport network in Santiago, Chile”, in collaboration with Prof. Sergio Jara-Díaz, at Universidad de Chile, during 2017-2019.

I am currently supervising the M.Sc. or undergraduate capstones/theses of:

  • Junhao Zang, who is using machine learning and shareability shadows to predict additional detours in on-demand ridepooling.
  • Fletcher Jakes, who is studying stop-skipping services in public transport.
  • Xiao Zhang, Jerry Zhou, and Ruizhe Xie, who are studying the suitability of train stations to be integrated with biking.

I have supervised (or co-supervised) the capstones/theses of:

  • Ahaan Gautam (University of Sydney, finished 2025), entitled: “The Simulation of a Hybrid Design Integrating Flexible Buses and Conventional Buses”.
  • Alexandra Waters (University of Sydney, finished 2025), entitled: “Going the extra mile: Driver distributions for improved matching in ride-hailing”.

  • Francisco Vilches (U. de Chile, graduated 2025), entitled: “Shared mobility systems with hierarchical pickup and dropoff points”.
  • Minjun Song (University of Sydney, finished 2024), entitled: “Analysing the effects of food delivery systems on food delivery worker’s behaviour to improve safety”.
  • Albert Xu (University of Sydney, finished 2024), entitled: “Implementation of Ridesharing Problem with PUDO location selection”.
  • Marc Awad, Bob Sheng (University of Sydney, finished 2024), entitled: “Analysis of Commuter Mode Choice with and without Real-Time Park and Ride Information”.
