Dr MILAN JANI is the transport and traffic engineer and planner. Currently, he is a Senior Researcher at Transport and Planning Department of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences of Delft University of Technology (Department of Transport & Planning)(Delft, The Netherlands) and the Principal Scientist/Research Professor at the Faculty of Traffic and Transport Engineering of the University of Belgrade (Belgrade, Serbia). Previously, he was Senior Researcher and Research Program Leader at Department of Transport & Infrastructure of the OTB Research Institute for the Built Environment (Delft University of Technology) (Delft, the Netherlands). Previously, he had kept the posts of Senior Researcher at Manchester Metropolitan University (Manchester, the UK), Loughborough University (Transport Studies Group) (Loughborough, UK) and the Institute of Transport Research (Ljubljana, Slovenia).

Dr JANI has been involved in transport-related research and planning projects at both national and international scale for almost 30 years. He has also published many scientific and academic transport-related papers and presented many at the national and international conferences dedicated to transport. In addition, he has published four books: "Greening Airports: Advanced Technologies and Operations" (2011), "Airport Analysis, Planning and Design: Demand, Capacity and Congestion" (2009), "The Sustainability of Air Transportation: A Quantitative Analysis and Assessment" (2007) and "Air Transport System Analysis and Modelling: Capacity, Quality of Services and Economics" (2000).

As well, Dr JANI is a member of Editorial Boards of several transport research-related journals and the associations and conferences, the latest such as NECTAR (Network on European Communications and Transport Activity Research), Air Transport Research Society (ATRS), Airfield and Airspace Capacity and Delay Committee of TRB (Transportation Research Board) (Washington DC, USA) and DelftAviation Centre (Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands).
