Bardia Mashhoodi is an Associate Professor in Urban Environment at the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Engineering and Science, University of Greenwich. He has a multidisciplinary background, having trained in four different disciplines: industrial engineering (BSc), architecture engineering (BSc), spatial planning (MSc), and human geography (PhD).

Bardia has led several large-scale, transdisciplinary Dutch and Sino-European research projects as the Principal Investigator (PI), focusing on energy transition, mobility, and the built environment.

Between 2010 and 2021, he contributed to six municipal, Dutch, and European projects in various roles. Additionally, between July 2021 and January 2024, he served as Assistant Professor of Digital Landscape at Wageningen University and Research (WUR), where he was Research Coordinator and Member of the Daily Board at the Landscape and Spatial Planning Group.

Since 2016, Bardia has taught various urban geography and planning courses at WUR, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), and Erasmus University in the Netherlands. His teaching contributions include:

  • Founder and coordinator of the Geographic AI course at WIMEK PhD school (2023-2024).
  • Lecturer and coordinator of the MSc Planning for Urban Quality of Life studio and the BSc Mobility and Network Infrastructures course (2020-2024) at WUR.
  • Instructor for the Regional Technology course (2016-2019) at TU Delft, teaching post-master (EMU) students.

Computer science

Responsibilities within the university
  • Multidisciplinary acquisition and studies
  • Designing a new course on geoAI

Research / Scholarly interests

His research focuses on household energy consumption and poverty, environmental inequalities, electric vehicle infrastructure, spatial morphology, built environment analysis, landscape metrics, and street network measurements. He has published multiple scientific papers in these fields.

Key funded projects

Previous projects led as Principal investigator:
  • FlexECs (NWO KIC, €2.5M; 2022-2025, Wageningen University and Research, the Netherlands): Aims to empower socially connected individuals to form energy communities using electric vehicles.
  • NEW NORMAL (Urban JPI, €1M; 2023-2025, Wageningen University and Research, the Netherlands): Proposes and tests a new transport-land use model for an energy-independent mobility system in 169 Chinese and European cities.
  • EVA (NWO SURF, €50K; 2020-2022, Wageningen University and Research, the Netherlands): Developed a regional master plan for electric vehicle charger distribution in the Amsterdam Metropolitan Area based on household energy demand.
