Pavlo Bazilinskyy
Pavlo Bazilinskyy has been involved with the MCAA for nearly a decade. Elected for a second term as the Treasurer of the Board, Pavlo’s principal motivation is to give back to the community that has given him so much.
Pavlo Bazilinskyy has been an active member of the MCAA since its founding. Pavlo, an Assistant Professor at TU Eindhoven who focuses on AI-driven interaction between automated vehicles and other road users, first joined the Association in 2015, only a year after it was created.
Since then, he’s had many mandates, from chairing and vice-chairing the Benelux Chapter and the Bridging Science and Business Working Group to initiating and co-organising various MCAA events. Being actively involved was and continues to be a natural choice for him.
“I benefited from my International Training Network (ITN) project immensely, and I want to give something back to the Association.”
Being elected as Treasurer of the Board for a second term provides a welcomed continuity for certain tasks, Pavlo points out. These include reporting on the finances of existing and finishing projects and securing new funding.
“Given my experience in preparing the European Commission's Coordination and Support Action (CSA) grant, which supports the MCAA and finishes later this year, and my knowledge of the financial activities of the past two years, as a re-elected Treasurer, I will supervise the financial aspects of reporting and applying for the new CSA grant.”
Although known among its members for the opportunities it offers for networking, professional development, and engagement in discussions related to policy making, raising the MCAA’s visibility externally should be continued, Pavlo says.
“I would like this Board to be remembered for making the MCAA an even more recognised brand on the EU level as well as worldwide.”
Pavlo is excited to continue his work as part of the Board, as well as collaborating with members and partners of the MCAA to advance the goals of the Association to ultimately keep giving back to the community he holds dear.
“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to every one of you for your dedication to the MCAA and for entrusting the newly elected Board with this important responsibility. Together, I’m confident we will achieve great success and make a meaningful impact in the research community.”
