Engineering better ways for people and cities to move.
Jack Hansen is a mechanical engineer and MSc candidate at TU Delft focused on simulation, optimization and infrastructure-scale systems. He is seeking opportunities in public transport, mobility and urban technology.
Professional focus
I use mechanical engineering and computational modelling to study how vehicles, infrastructure, operations and policy interact.
My interests include public transport, network simulation, multimodal systems and the future of urban movement.

Background
Mechanical engineering training with an increasing focus on mobility, complex systems and computational analysis.
My approach combines technical depth, systems thinking and an emphasis on decisions that can be implemented.
I am completing an MSc in Multi-Machine Engineering at TU Delft. My earlier experience includes product development, manufacturing automation, advanced materials and hands-on mechanical design.
Across these settings, I have developed models to structure uncertain problems, tested assumptions against data and prototypes, and communicated results as engineering decisions.
