Filipe Moura (Co-PI)

is an Associate Professor of Transportation Systems in the Department of Civil Engineering and Architecture at the Instituto Superior Técnico, University of Lisbon. He is a member of the Research Group of “Transport Systems” of CERIS. His research expertise relates to Urban Mobility, particularly travel behavior analysis, transport demand modeling, sustainable mobility (including social aspects of transportation), technology diffusion, and road traffic management. Currently, his research interests focus on active modes of transportation and their interaction with the built environment and on autonomy in urban mobility, both from the perspectives of behavior (i.e., learning to be autonomous in my mobility, particularly for children and youth) and of technology (i.e., new business models for autonomous vehicles). Filipe is a Fulbright Scholar.
