Alireza Khodayari is a member of the mechanical engineering faculty at Islamic Azad University, Central Tehran Branch, and earlier served as an associate professor at the university’s Pardis Branch. Khodayari holds BSc, MSc and PhD degrees in mechanical engineering from K. N. Toosi University of Technology. Khodayari’s research covers modelling of car-following, lane-change and overtaking behaviour in real traffic flow, intelligent control of vehicle motion, automated parking algorithms, and grippers, artificial fingers and snake robots actuated by shape memory alloys.

Interested in hearing about: Collaborations on driver-behaviour modelling, intelligent vehicle motion control, and SMA-actuated grippers and robotic fingers.
