A voice for diversity, equity, and inclusion in civil and environmental engineering
Md Sami Hasnine is in the business of understanding people. From his research developing and building predictive models of human behavior, to his work in MIT’s diversity, equity, and inclusion community, the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) postdoc has displayed both a passion for, and some considerable skill in, promoting equality and diversity, and helping to drive change within his community
Hasnine Leads Amazon-Funded Cold Chain Implementation Research
Civil and Environmental Engineering Assistant Professor Md Sami Hasnine, Ph.D. leads the Amazon Transportation Services (ATS) funded Vertically Integrated Project (VIP) for cold chain implementation research at Howard University. The VIP framework fosters long-term faculty research-based team projects open to any student in any discipline. A vertical mentorship is practiced from the professor to undergraduate students through graduate students.

Engineering for good:
“From the very beginning of my life, I saw [my father] was devoted to engineering and had many engineering books. When I was in school, I used his structural engineering book, I didn’t buy the book,” laughed Hasnine.

U OF T Engineering Grads to Watch 2019
Hasnine’s research is at the intersection of transportation engineering, economics, data science and psychology.
During his graduate studies, he developed behavioral models to research travel-related decisions people make on a day-to-day basis — when to leave and return home, their mode of transportation, their travel destination and the amount of time it takes to get there.
Sami Hasnine wins the ITE Section Student Presentation Competition
Sami Hasnine won the first prize in the ITE 2016 Joint Student Presentation Competition (Graduate Level) for his presentation on the paper “Investigating the Interplay between the Attributes of At-fault and Not-At-Fault Drivers and their Associated Impacts on Occurrence and Severity of Traffic Accidents”. The paper is co-authored and supervised by Lu Li, Khandker M. Nurul Habib, Bhagwant Persaud and Amer Shalaby.
Sami Hasnine takes 2nd place at the ITE Student Presentation Competition
On March 24, 2015, Sami Hasnine, a graduate student in Civil Engineering, took 2nd place at the Seventh Annual Student Presentation Competition for his presentation on Transportation Demand Management. The competition is hosted by the Joint Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers Section, representing the Toronto, Hamilton and Southwest Ontario Sections of the Institute. Sami is under the supervision of Prof Khandker Nurul Habib.
UTTRI Team Wins Canadian District Traffic Bowl Championship
The team of Teddy Lin (incoming MASc student, 2014 UofT graduate), Matt Austin (MASc student) and Sami Hasnine (MASc student) travelled to the Canadian Institute of Transportation Engineers/Ontario Traffic Council conference in the Region of Waterloo to compete in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’
Canadian District Traffic Bowl Championship. The event is a Jeopardy-style competition that tests the students’ knowledge of traffic and transportation theory and practice. The UTTRI team won the event in a very close final against the University of Calgary and Mohawk College, earning it the right to compete at the 2014 Collegiate Traffic Bowl Grand Championship in Seattle this August. Stay tuned.
