Nino is a research scientist in transport systems from Georgia with a strong focus on sustainable and inclusive mobility. She has contributed to projects such as Tbilisi´s first bus rapid transit systems, Cycling Masterplans for Tbilisi and Batumi, and multimodal development plans for Georgian cities. Pursuing further expertise, she completed a Master´s Degree in Urban Studies and Planning from the University of Helsinki, where she conducted a commissioned thesis with VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland on automated shuttles in last-mile mobility solutions.

This collaboration led her to continue working at VTT, where she is now actively engaged in activity-based modeling and traffic simulations. She aims to leverage data-driven insights and international best practices to improve transport systems – enhancing accessibility, resilience, and reliability – starting from her home country and reaching beyond.
