Co-director of the future cities lab at Centrale Pékin.
Research Topics
Mobility and Urban Futures
The future of cities is strongly related to the evolution of their transport systems. Within the Anthropolis chair we are mainly considereing mobility of people in cities.
We are interested in understanding urban environments on diferent scales, using data analysis, participative approaches, simulation, and optimization.
Our main goal is to develop sustainable human centric solutions leading towards more livable cities.
Green Logistics
Urban logistics and especially vehicle routing optimization is an essential part of my researching. I focus on novel optimization problems such as electric vehicle routing or multi-echelon deliveries using robotic vehicles (ground drones). The main objective in treating such problems is to reduce the environmental impact of delivery systems
The interaction with passenger transport and the sharing economy are also fields of interest, and pose very challenging questions in terms of vehicle and acitvity synchronisation.
