About

Khaled Shaaban joined the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering in 2025. He previously served as a professor and associate professor at Utah Valley University (UVU). Before his tenure at UVU, he held appointments as an associate and assistant professor at Qatar University.

He is a licensed professional engineer in Florida, a professional traffic operations engineer, and a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA). In recognition of his excellence, Shaaban has received several awards for both teaching and research. Beginning in 2021, he was named five consecutive times to Stanford University’s prestigious World’s Top 2% Scientists annual list.

Drawing on extensive experience in research, teaching and professional practice, Shaaban integrates theory, design and education with practical application. His research focuses on traffic operations, traffic and pedestrian safety, active transportation, public transportation, commute behavior, and policies for sustainable mobility, with a special interest in the applications of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). His work has been widely disseminated through more than 200 papers in reputable journals and peer-reviewed conferences.
