Summary
Dr Jacek Pawlak is a Research Associate at Imperial College London. His background is in
Economics and Geography (UCL), and Transport Studies (Imperial College and UCL). In 2014 he
completed his doctoral research on modelling the interactions between Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) and travel behaviour (supervised by Prof. John Polak, Prof. David
Gann, and Dr. Aruna Sivakumar). He has also worked in the areas of time use research, in particular
multitasking and travel time activities, as well as valuation of travel time savings. He has also been
involved in teaching on travel demand modelling, microeconomics and quantitative methods at the
Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London. Since April 2014, he
has been co-operating closely with Cisco Collaborative Research and Emerging Technologies
(CREATE) unit on multiple proof-of-concept and prototyping projects in the area of connectivity and
transport systems operation, and involving various academic, industrial, and public stakeholders. In
addition, since August 2014, he has joined cross-departmental EPSRC-funded Digital City Exchange
project at Imperial College. Outside academia, Dr Pawlak is a passionate sailor, traveller, tour guide,
and HAM radio operator.
