Associate professor at the Department of Transport and Logistics Engineering and the School of Architecture of Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile. He is also a researcher at the Complex Engineering Systems Institute (ISCI) of Universidad de Chile.
He is an industrial civil engineer and holds a master’s degree in Engineering Sciences with a specialization in Transport from Universidad de Chile. He received his PhD in Mathematics from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
RESEARCH AREAS
His research focuses on integrated transportation and land use models, discrete choice models applied to the behavior of users of public spaces and transportation systems, with a particular focus on walking and cycling, and the use of accessibility indicators as tools for evaluating transportation projects and policies.
