Leila Hajibabai’s research interests lie in the areas of logistics systems optimization and transportation planning. Her main emphasis is on resilient and economic city logistics, transportation asset management, and sustainable infrastructure development. She utilizes emerging technologies and analyzes the integrated technical and social aspects of their application to transportation services in smart connected communities. Hajibabai’s research group develops robust models to realistically represent complex problems in transportation systems both in tactical and operational levels that aim to improve planning, design, and operation of such systems under deterministic as well as stochastic conditions. Her research provides innovative and practical solutions to complex logistics problems at various spatial and temporal scales.
