He worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA, from 1995 to 1999, at ETH Zurich from 1999 to 2004, and holds his current post since 2004. His research interests include large-scale transportation simulations, modeling and simulation of socio-economic systems, and large-scale computing. He is one of the authors of the open source MATSim software (Multi-Agent Transport Simulation, see www.matsim.org). He leads a group of currently 18 Ph.D. students, 16 of them funded from competetive sources including the German National Science Foundation, the ministry of transport (BMDV) and the ministry of education and research (BMBF). Kai Nagel has authored more than 200 publications. === Technische Universität Berlin looks back over a long and distinguished tradition of teaching and research, starting in 1799 with the Building Academy ("Bauakademie"). The university has about 30000 students, about 400 professors, and a non-professorial academic staff of about 1500, making it the largest technical university in Germany. The seven Schools of the university offer 50 courses of study from the fields of engineering and natural sciences, economics and business, planning sciences, humanities and the social sciences. The university budget is about 400 million euros, of which approximately 160 million euros come from external funding. === Kai Nagel, born 1965 in Cologne/Germany.

Forschungsinteressen: Große Verkehrssimulationen; Modellierung und Simulation sozio-ökonomischer Systeme === Kai Nagel (Jahrgang 1965) studierte Physik und Meteorologie an den Universitäten zu Köln und Paris 6. Nach Forschungsaufenthalten am Los Alamos National Laboratory, am Santa Fe Institute, und am Brookhaven National Laboratory promovierte er an der Universität zu Köln über schnelle mikroskopische Verkehrssimulationen. Nach vierjähriger Mitarbeit am TRANSIMS Projekt in Los Alamos war er von 1999 bis 2004 Assistenzprofessor für Informatik (wissenschaftliches Rechnen) an der ETHZ Zürich. Seit 2004 ist er Fachgebietsleiter/Professor für "Verkehrssystemplanung und Verkehrstelematik", Institut für Land- und Seeverkehr, Fakultät für Verkehrs- und Maschinenwesen, TU Berlin. Die Arbeiten der letzten 10 Jahre von ihm und seiner Arbeitsgruppe konzentrierten sich auf die Weiterentwicklung von MATSim (Multi Agent Transport Simulation, www.matsim.org). In dem Projekt geht es darum, regionale Verkehrssysteme mikroskopisch, also durch explizite Berücksichtigung u.a. der Reisenden, zu modellieren und zu simulieren; dies ist durch die rasanten Entwicklungen bei Computern und Daten möglich geworden. Wesentliche Schwerpunkte der letzten Jahre waren die explizite großräumige Simulation von Taxidiensten sowie die Integration von Modellen für die Berechnung von Emissionen und Lärm.
