SUMMARY:Meeting #41 - Understanding Urban Mobility for Sustainable Cities: A Case Study on Travel Behavior and Mode Choice in the City of Porto
DESCRIPTION:Our next session will be on the topic Understanding Urban Mobility for Sustainable Cities: A Case Study on Travel Behavior and Mode Choice in the City of Porto\, by Beatriz Cavaleiro.\nThis session will take place on Tuesday\, 13th of November\, at 12.00 p.m. in room L119 and will be chaired by Marta Campos Ferreira. \n  \nAbstract\nUrban mobility is a key factor in achieving Europe’s climate\, environmental\, and social goals. The European Commission’s New Urban Mobility Framework 2021 emphasizes a shift towards sustainable\, inclusive\, and efficient mobility systems\, highlighting the importance of collective and active transport\, zero-emission urban logistics\, and improved connectivity between urban and rural areas. Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans (SUMPs) play a crucial role in this strategy by integrating transport planning with climate\, energy\, and spatial strategies. The implementation of sustainable mobility policies may face significant social\, economic\, and cultural challenges that need to be carefully assessed. Understanding the distribution of transport modes used by the population for both daily and long-distance trips is fundamental to evaluating the sustainability of a transport system. Several factors influence the population’s choice of transport mode; some are related to the availability of infrastructure and services\, while others are more social in nature\, linked to demographic structure\, economic activity\, or spatial patterns. \nBased on these considerations\, this study focuses on the municipality of Porto\, the second-largest city in Portugal\, using data collected from a mobility survey conducted at the end of 2024\, which yielded a total of 4\,749 responses. The primary objective is to explore mode choice patterns and examine their correlations with sociodemographic variables\, providing data-driven insights to support the development of more sustainable and inclusive transport strategies. Following a comprehensive literature review\, the survey data was pre-processed using the CRISP-DM methodology to ensure consistency and reliability. Exploratory data analysis\, including descriptive statistics and contingency tables\, was conducted to identify mobility patterns and their association with sociodemographic variables. These relationships were further validated through Chi-square tests of independence. Hierarchical clustering was then applied\, revealing four distinct groups with unique sociodemographic and mobility profiles. The findings offer data-driven insights to inform targeted mobility policies\, contributing to sustainable urban development and aligning with broader European goals for climate neutrality and transport efficiency. \n  \nBeatriz Cavaleiro loves challenges that combine analysis\, strategy\, and innovation. She earned her M.Sc. in Services Engineering and Management from the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto (FEUP) in 2025\, where she developed her dissertation in collaboration with the Alliance for Energy Transition (AET) project. She also holds a B.Sc. in Industrial Engineering and Management from the Porto School of Engineering (ISEP)\, obtained in 2023. Beyond her academic achievements\, Beatriz has dedicated 15 years to classic and contemporary dance\, achieving first place in a solo performance at Dance World Cup 2016 in Jersey (UK). This experience gave her discipline and determination\, which she now carries into her professional role.

SUMMARY:Meeting #40 - We Are all the Plan: Envisioning Urban Mobility Futures Through Everyday Life
DESCRIPTION:On Friday (jul\, 11th) we will host Prof. Veronica Saud for a session on the topic We Are all the Plan: Envisioning Urban Mobility Futures Through Everyday Life. \nThe session will take place in room G421\, at 11.00 a.m. \n  \nShort bio \nVeronica SAUD is a Chilean architect with a PhD in Development Planning from UCL. Her work focuses on innovative approaches on governance\, policy\, and planning on mobility justice and inclusive decision-making for a decarbonized future\, reflecting her passionate concern for reducing inequalities and addressing the climate emergency. She is currently Assistant Professor at Universidad Central de Chile\, where she teaches urban planning\, sustainability and accessibility. In her free time\, she enjoys cycling\, scuba diving\, and hockey. \n  \nAbstract \nUnderstanding how decision-making in urban mobility planning can trigger transformative strategies is crucial for advancing just socio-ecological transition agendas. These transitions are not only technical or institutional. This requires\nrecognising that changes comprise relational dynamics between the material\, spatial and environmental dimensions\, the human and social dimensions\, as well as the institutional dynamics. \nThis research explores the social dimensions of decarbonisation and mobility agendas. It argues that\, beyond the material and technological concerns\, placing social needs at the center of the planning and decision-making process\, accessibility and everyday life becomes crucial to develop more inclusive and sustainable cities. \nIt is also known that the governance of urban mobility under decarbonisation objectives face significant governance challenges\, in particular\, at the local level. These include\, among others\, uncertainty around funding mechanisms\, fragmented responsibilities\, and\, above all\, challenges in building a shared vision for change. In doing so\, it requires\novercoming the political and technocratic vision\, moving beyond technocratic and efficiency-driven models\, aligning objectives\, and creating a common commitment towards a more decarbonised future. \nThis research examines how planning processes around decarbonisation and active mobility can either reinforce existing inequalities or challenge them\, focusing on how institutional and political dynamics influence who participates in planning\, under what conditions\, and how these decisions affect accessibility on the ground. \nRather than viewing planning as a controlled\, expert-led process\, this work frames it as an ongoing negotiation among diverse actors—local governments\, civil society\, professionals\, residents\, and even visitors. These interactions shape not only policies\, but also the underlying values and assumptions about mobility\, inclusion\, and ultimately\,\nurban life. \nThis talk invites participants to reflect on their own experiences of movements and accessibility in the city\, opening space for a transdisciplinary dialogue. Ultimately\, it calls for a reimagining of planning as a shared process\, where socio-ecological transitions are not only envisioned\, but co-created through everyday practices\, negotiations\, and joint\ndiscussion about whose future is being planned. \n  \nOrganized and moderated by: Sérgio Pedro Duarte and Juliana Carvalho

SUMMARY:Meeting #38 - Beyond Innovation in Transport Policy and Engineering
DESCRIPTION:Our next session will be under the topic Beyond Innovation in Transport Policy and Engineering\, by António Ferreira and Kim von Schönfeld.\nThis session will take place on Tuesday\, 13th of May\, at 11.30 a.m. in room G423 and will be chaired by Sérgio Pedro Duarte. \n  \nAbout the topic \nTransport policies and engineering are being shaped by a fundamentally pro-innovation paradigm. This paradigm confuses the public interest with the implementation of novelties that in turn lead to efficiency\, digitalisation\, smart technologies and behavioural interventions geared towards economic growth. This workshop challenges the alignment of the supremacy of innovation with the public interest and invites participants to explore a more plural vision of change and continuity in transport policies and technologies. \nStarting from a conceptual triangle with three vertices (innovation\, maintenance and historical return) we will question how policy paradigms limit imagination and exclude relevant solutions. Through discussion and visual mapping exercises based on this triangular model\, participants will explore a central question: How can we support initiatives free from pro-innovation ideological paradigms in order to better combine\, in the name of the public interest\, the historic\, the current and the new? \nThis session welcomes researchers\, professionals and policy-makers interested in rethinking the limits and benefits of innovation and promoting a more diverse\, creative and resilient transport future. \n  \nAntónio Ferreira is a Principal Researcher at CITTA – Centre for Research on Territory\, Transports and Environment of the University of Porto\, Portugal. He is a researcher with great curiosity for new topics and who has published on a variety of fields\, ranging from urban and transport governance to planning education\, from emotions in the workplace to mindfulness\, from planning theory to economic appraisal. At the moment\, his key research interests are focused on child-friendly futures and post-growth planning\, the governance of the digital transition and of “smart” technologies. He is the Member n. 218 of the Portuguese Association of Urbanists. \n  \nKim von Schönfeld is a researcher in the field of planning\, and currently works as Marie Sklodowska‐Curie post‐doctoral research fellow at the Western Norway University of Applied Sciences (HVL)\, developing the MobileWorlds project about creative ways to reimagine mobilities of the future. She has worked mainly in the field of urban and regional planning\, focusing on participatory and inclusive planning processes\, and pathways towards inclusive and environmentally just planning outcomes. This has led her to study social learning\, (social) innovation\, degrowth/post-growth\, cultural diversity\, and several other subjects\, often with special attention to contexts of transport and (im-)mobility planning. She is also a collaborating researcher at CITTA— Research Centre for Territory\, Transports and Environment\, University of Porto\, Portugal. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Meeting #36 - Bibliometric Network Analysis for Systematic Literature Reviews [Workshop]
DESCRIPTION:GITMob meeting no. 36 \nThis workshop will be presented by Thyago Nepomuceno\, from Universidade Federal de Pernambuco. The workshop will take place at FEUP\, room L202A\, on Tuesday\, March 25th 2025\, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. \nDescription:\nConducting a systematic literature review is a crucial step in consolidating knowledge and exploring any scientific domain. This short course provides an introduction to the principles and techniques of systematic reviews and bibliometric network analysis to map and analyze the relationships between academic publications. Participants will explore essential concepts related to co-citations\, co-authorships\, co-occurrences\, and bibliographic coupling\, gaining practical insights into how these networks can reveal patterns and connections within the academic landscape. We will have the opportunity to understand how to define the most appropriate query strings and eligibility criteria for bibliographic searches\, methods for filtering the number of relevant papers to review and how to assess the validity of the findings of the included studies. We will discuss practical case studies extracting relevant bibliographic data from SCOPUS\, Web of Science and other sources\, with examples published in international journals\, to demonstrate the application of these concepts in building a robust and comprehensive review with graph-based\, distance-based and timeline visualizations from the main software in the area (Vosviewer\, Citenet Explorer and Bibliometrix (R)). In the end\, we will have insights to construct research agendas based on the coverage of concepts\, attractiveness\, or research gaps and how bibliometric network tools can be useful in other domains of scientific research beyond systematic reviews. \n\nShort Bio:\nProf. Dr. Thyago Nepomuceno is an assistant professor in the Department of Statistics at the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE)\, Brazil.

SUMMARY:Seminars | 21st Oct 2022 | LIACC-DEI FEUP
DESCRIPTION:  \nOn behalf of Prof. Rosaldo Rossetti\, from LIACC-DEI\, we are sharing the following information. \n  \nWithin the framework of the European University Alliance for Global Health (EUGLOH)\, we are glad to host the visit of Stéphane Espié and Abderrahmane Boubezoul\, visiting DEI during this week. Our guests will deliver two seminars on Friday\, October 21\, at 9.00 am\, in Room B 009. \n  \nTools and methods for the understanding of road users behaviours (by S. Espié) \nTo be efficient and accepted\, because acceptable\, road safety counter-measures need to be defined thanks to scientific studies. The question is not only to imagine an optimal solution in the absolute\, but to understand the real practices and\, based on this knowledge\, to design the measures (sensitivity campaigns\, changes in Highway Code\, changes in initial training curriculum or licence tests\, infrastructure (re)design\, vehicles homologations\, etc.).\nIn our talk we will describe the tools and methods we promote and refined for decades to improve road safety\, and their use in research projects. Our approach is systemic and is based on three pillars: instrumentation of vehicles for in-depth naturalistic studies\, traffic modelling and simulation using a multi-agents system\, and design of driving simulators to study driving behaviours. We will illustrate our approach using research projects we have conducted over these last years. \n  \nDriving-Pattern Identification and Event Detection Based on an Unsupervised Learning Framework: Case of a Motorcycle-Riding Simulator\n(by A. Boubezoul) \nAnalysis of human driving behavior aims to inspect drivers’ behavior in the real-world and in a virtual environment. The study of driving behaviors can be conducted in naturalistic situations or controlled experiments. Analyzing driving behaviors based on the data collected in naturalistic driving experiments or controlled experiments in the real-world or in a virtual environment is beneficial to fill in many of the knowledge gaps about driving behaviors and risk factors. I will present a multi-step framework for analyzing driving behavior on macroscopic and microscopic scales. The core step of this framework is based on unsupervised machine learning algorithms applied to driving-pattern identification and the detection of critical driving events using anomaly-detection algorithms. The detected events are interpreted and described by computing their feature importance using graphs centrality measures. This provides new insight into driving behavior by identifying the motives behind the driver’s actions. \n  \nAbout the authors \nStéphane Espié is a research director at the Gustave Eiffel University. He hold an Accreditation to Direct Research in Computer Science (HdR\, Pierre et Marie Curie University\, 2004). His main research areas are behavioural traffic simulation (MAS based)\, and the design of tools to study road user behaviours (driving/riding simulators and instrumented vehicles). He currently conducts his research in SATIE laboratory (Paris Saclay university) where he leads the MOSS (Methods and Tools for Signals and Systems) research group. \nAbderrahmane Boubezoul received his Ph.D. in Computer Science and Mathematics from University Paul Cézanne (Aix-Marseille III)\, France in 2008 and his Master’s degree in Virtual Reality and Complex Systems from Evry Val d’Essone University\, France. Since 2008\, he is a researcher at Gustave Eiffel University. His current work is about statistical signal processing and machine learning applied to road transport systems. He currently conducts his research in SATIE laboratory (Paris Saclay university) MOSS (Methods and Tools for Signals and Systems) research group.

SUMMARY:Meeting #31 – The role of collaboration for sustainable and efficient urban logistics
DESCRIPTION:This 1-hour session will take place online on Thursday\, November 3rd 2020\, from 11a.m. to 12 noon. Leandro Carvalho\, Ph.D. student of the Transport Systems Doctoral Program from FEUP will share his ongoing research work entitled The role of collaboration for sustainable and efficient urban logistics\, in an informal and friendly environment. \nClick ‘Read more’ to read the short abstract. \n\nLink to Zoom meeting:  https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/84853510344?pwd=cVFYS2tCMzNnVFd2RlcwYVpnQiszUT09\n\n \n\nThe role of collaboration for sustainable and efficient urban logistics\n The scarcity of resources is one of the main concerns for the present and the future of the environment and society. The “load factor” in logistic transport has great potential for improvement\, especially in the last-mile deliveries\, as the transport of goods is largely fragmented between several small companies using small vehicles. This doctoral thesis investigates the potential for collaboration to increase efficiency in urban logistics. The research proposes the development of a conceptual framework able to describe the governance patterns that rule different horizontal collaborative strategies. This framework seeks to support companies in deciding which style of governance best fits their business model. This investigation is based on a mixed strategy of research\, using qualitative and quantitative data obtained through case studies.   \nSee you there!

SUMMARY:Meeting #30 – Online session with Doctoral students in Transport Systems
DESCRIPTION:This 1-hour session will take place online on November 19th 2020\, from 11a.m. to 12 noon. Two Ph.D. students of the Transport Systems Doctoral Program from FEUP will share their ongoing research work\, in an informal and friendly environment. The titles and short abstracts for their research works can be found below. \nLink to Zoom meeting: https://videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/81371702737?pwd=MHZERHVseUpEemhLUHcvU3UzZzVnZz09 \nJuliana Carvalho – Policy Roadmaps for Sustainable Urban mobility: a Collaborative Design Framework \nMudassar Shafiq – Optimal Design and Evaluation of more Sustainable and Equitable Public Transport Networks\n \n \n— \nJuliana Carvalho – Policy Roadmaps for Sustainable Urban mobility: a Collaborative Design Framework \nThis research project aims to contribute to sustainable urban mobility from an interdisciplinary perspective. With a focus on the specific challenges of local authorities in metropolitan areas\, such as promoting intermunicipal coordination\, we propose an experimental research design based on participatory backcasting and institutional design analysis to develop a collaborative design framework for assessing adaptive policy roadmaps in sustainable urban mobility. This approach values stakeholder engagement and recognizes the need for more flexibility in policymaking in order to promote long-term sustainability goals in a landscape of increasing uncertainty. The underlying assumption is that scenario-based participatory processes can contribute to consensus building\, providing opportunities for effective learning among participants. The Metropolitan Area of Porto\, Portugal\, will provide an empirical environment for the research\, and Sustainable Urban Mobility Plans\, the reference planning tool. \nMudassar Shafiq – Optimal Design and Evaluation of more Sustainable and Equitable Public Transport Networks \nThe world’s population and the number of people living in and migrating to the urban areas for better opportunities has increased rapidly over the last two decades. This has resulted in greater levels of car ownership in urban areas\, congestion\, higher emissions and environmental pollution\, overburdened road infrastructure and insufficient alternate transport facilities. These trends have led to many social disparities among the societies and people while accessing the services and opportunities available in the area. \nEfforts are being made all over the world to plan and design public transport networks which are more efficient\, equitable and sustainable\, so that they emerge as a preferred mode of transport and serve the needs of all the groups of the society. \nThis doctoral project targets the design of efficient\, equitable and sustainable public transportation networks using multi-objective optimization models. In a first step\, the model will minimize the total user cost and maximize the accessibility to the services\, using horizontal and vertical equity constraints. Then\, the model will consider the modal share for the public transportation (demand effect) that serves as an indicator of sustainability\, along with efficiency and equity. \nThese network design models will be applied and validated to a real-world case study that will lead to an optimized network with equity and greater modal share and maximized accessibility\, in comparison to the existing transit route network.

SUMMARY:Meeting #28 – The impact of reversible lanes in the main freeway (VCI) of Porto city
DESCRIPTION:  \n GITMob meeting no. 28\nThis session will take place online on 23 July 2020 (no registration required: Zoom Link). The topic of this session will be The impact of reversible lanes in the main freeway (VCI) of Porto city\, presented by Lígia Conceição \, Ph.D. in Transportation Systems. This presentation focuses on her research work. \n  \nAbstract\nIn real-world cities\, solving Road Network Design Problems (RNDP) in a single-level framework through optimization is not advisable\, given the numerical complexity that turns the process very time-consuming. Simulation methods appear as a method to reduce the complexity of the mathematical problem by solving one part of the problem: the lower-level problem\, i.e.\, the performance of the network for a given network design solution. Joining simulation and optimization is also challenging in terms of programming\, software interfaces\, and time resources\, yet a feasible solution can be obtained even when the solution process does not reach the end. The main objective of this presentation is to present the first results of a simulation-optimization (SO) framework of reversible lanes (a smart traffic control system) applied to a particular case-study: the main freeway (also known as VCI) of the city of Porto\, in Portugal. \n  \nShort Bio\n​Lígia Conceição\, Ph.D. in Transportation Systems from MIT Portugal Program. She worked at TU Delft and MIT on research related to operations research in transport planning and traffic control strategies for automated vehicles. Her former background is an M.Sc in civil engineering focused on transport infrastructures in 2014 at the University of Porto\, Portugal. She is an enthusiast and passionate about solving and optimizing problems for a better and more innovative future.

SUMMARY:Meeting #27 – The Reversible Lane Network Design Problem (RL-NDP) for Smart Cities with Automated Traffic
DESCRIPTION:  \n GITMob meeting no. 27\nThis session took place online (no registration required\, Zoom link) on 16 July 2020. The topic of this session was The Reversible Lane Network Design Problem (RL-NDP) for Smart Cities with Automated Traffic\, presented by Lígia Conceição \, Ph.D. in Transportation Systems. This presentation focused on her recently published work available here. \n  \nAbstract\nWith automated vehicles (AVs)\, reversible lanes could be a sustainable transportation solution once there is vehicle-to-infrastructure connectivity informing AVs about the lane configuration changes. This paper introduced the reversible lane network design problem (RL-NDP)\, formulated in mixed-integer non-linear mathematical programming—both the traffic assignment and the reversible lane decisions were embedded. The model was applied on an hourly basis in the case study of the city of Delft\, the Netherlands. Reversible lanes are examined under no traffic equilibrium (former paths are maintained); user-equilibrium (UE) assignment (AVs decide their own paths); and system-optimum (SO) traffic assignment (AVs are forced to follow SO paths). We found out that reversible lanes reduce congested roads\, total travel times\, and delays up to 36%\, 9%\, and 22%\, respectively. The SO scenario was revealed to be beneficial in reducing the total travel time and congested roads in peak hours\, whereas UE is equally optimal in the remaining hours. A dual-scenario mixing SO and UE throughout the day reduced congested roads\, total travel times\, and delay up to 40%\, 8%\, and 19%\, respectively\, yet increased 1% in travel distance. The spatial analysis suggested a substantial lane variability in the suburbs\, yet a strong presence of reversible lanes in the city center. \n  \nShort Bio\nLígia Conceição\, Ph.D. in Transportation Systems from MIT Portugal Program.

SUMMARY:Meeting #24 – As cidades e a mobilidade do futuro [Mesa Redonda Online]
DESCRIPTION:GITMob meeting no. 24 \nModerador: Sérgio Pedro Duarte \nHá cerca de dois meses as nossas rotinas mudaram e as cidades pararam. Muitos ficaram a trabalhar em casa\, as ruas ficaram vazias e as lojas fecharam. Alguns redescobriram o comércio local\, outros descobriram o comércio eletrónico. Alguns descobriram o tempo livre\, outros descobriram os seus bairros percorrendo-os a pé. As ruas vazias trouxeram o silêncio e o ar mais limpo. À medida que as pessoas saíam\, as crianças descobriram o que é brincar na rua.Depressa surgiu a ideia que a nossa vida mudou para sempre. A pandemia trazia consigo oportunidades para repensar a economia\, o ensino\, o comércio\, o trabalho. O clima ia mudar\, íamos possuir menos e poluir menos. Ao mesmo tempo\, sentíamos a falta de socializar\, de sair\, de estar com pessoas. O silêncio também trazia confusão. \nAgora que começamos a sair e a voltar à normalidade. Mas que normalidade é essa que vamos encontrar? O ruído? A poluição? O trânsito?\nPor todo o mundo vemos exemplos de cidades que aceleraram alterações aos planos de mobilidade (Londres\, Milão\, Paris\, etc.) para criar uma cidade mais amiga das pessoas e do ambiente. Querem menos carros e mais pessoas. Querem mais proximidade\, mas os locais que eram mais frequentados querem continuar a ter quem os visite. \nConseguimos atingir esse equilíbrio? Seremos capazes de nos adaptar a essas novas cidades\, ou as nossas deslocações continuarão iguais?\nNão é possível pensarmos numa nova cidade sem mudarmos a forma como nos deslocamos. Qual será\, então\, o impacto da pandemia nas cidades e na mobilidade urbana? Vamos voltar ao normal\, ou vamos repensar as cidades e a mobilidade? \nO GITMob quis ouvir a perspetiva de quem estuda as cidades\, de quem estuda a mobilidade\, e de quem aplica as ideias na prática. No próximo dia 26 de maio (terça-feira)\, pelas 11h00\, irá decorrer uma mesa redonda online. Para ter acesso ao endereço da reunião será necessário realizar inscrição aqui.\nAproveitando que os novos hábitos digitais nos abriram portas para ouvir pessoas que nem sempre iríamos conseguir\, convidamos três oradores exteriores à FEUP para falarmos sobre o futuro das cidades e da mobilidade. \nFicamos à tua espera\,\nGITMob \n  \nConvidados\nJosé Alberto Rio Fernandes (Faculdade de Letras – U. Porto)\nAnabela Ribeiro (Faculdade de Ciências e Tecnologia – U. Coimbra)\nJosé Pedro Rodrigues (Câmara Municipal de Matosinhos) \nModerador \nSérgio Pedro Duarte (FEUP) \n  \nNota: A sessão decorrerá em Português. (This session will be conducted in Portuguese.)

SUMMARY:Meeting #22 – Mobile Wireless Systems for Smart Mobility [Part 2/2]
DESCRIPTION:GITMob meeting no. 22 \nThis session took place on 27 February 2020 at room L202A of Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP). The topic of the session was Mobile Wireless Systems for Smart Mobility\, presented by Ana Aguiar \, a Professor at FEUP. \n  \nAbstract \nSmarter mobility is expected to play a key role in the reduction of urban carbon footprint by changing the way people move. Mobile wireless systems can foster this change by supporting better transportation planning and by improving the mobility experience in more environmental friendly modes. This talk will discuss requirements\, challenges\, and solutions for both dimensions collected during 7 years of experimental projects in the field of intelligent mobility in the city of Porto. In the first part\, I will identify challenges of using mobile crowdsensed data\, and show how it may still be useful to urban planners. I will also describe our efforts to use data from legacy sensors and from a taxi fleet to estimate traffic in the city of Porto\, in the context of an eco-routing application developed to demonstrate the potential of mobile IoT to support mobility. \n  \nShort Bio \nAna Aguiar is Assistant Professor at the University of Porto (UP) and researcher at Instituto de Telecomunicações (IT). Her research focuses on wireless and mobile systems\, concretely vehicular networks\, WiFi networks for mobile nodes\, mobile IoT\, and spatio-temporal data science for smart mobility. She is the director of IT Porto\, where she coordinates the Network and Information Processing Group\, and leads the Shannon Lab. She is adjunct coordinator of the Center of Competences for Future Cities at UP\, operating the crowdsensing tool SenseMyCity. She was the CTO of CooDriver GmbH\, a german start-up developing a solution for protection of vulnerable road users between 2016 and 2018. She lead the VOCE project on voice stress detection\, and participated in more than 15 projects\, in 9 of them as co-PI or WP leader. She published more than 60 journal and conference articles\, is reviewer for several IEEE transactions journals\, collaborates in part of the organising committees of several IEEE conferences (local arrangements chair of IEEE VTC 2018\, publicity co-chair of IEEE WoWMoM 2018 and 2019\, student travel grant chair of ACM Mobicom 2016 and 2020\, TPC of Infocom 2018\, 2019 and 2020)\, and is an expert with the EC.
