Amir Hassanpour

Amir Hassanpour is a Ph.D. candidate in Transportation Engineering at UBC, working as a researcher and analyst at Research on Active Transportation Laboratory. His research focuses on cycling and the emerging personal transportation technologies, such as e-bikes and e-scooters. Amir has collaborated on projects with several municipalities, TransLink, and the Province, most recently evaluating the GHG impacts of BC’s e-bike incentive program, and the implications of emerging micromobility devices for the region. He also serves as a sessional lecturer at UBC, teaching transportation engineering fundamentals to 4th-year civil engineering students, and is a scholar at UBC’s Climate Solutions Research Collective, where he investigates the role of micromobility devices in climate mitigation.

Amir is motivated to join HUB Cycling’s board to leverage his expertise in sustainable transportation and his passion for cycling to help shape a more inclusive and climate-resilient transportation system in the region. In his spare time, he loves spending time with his cat, riding his folding bike, and solving chess puzzles.
