Biography

Francesco Viti is head of the MobiLab Transport Research Group, member of the Computational Engineering Institute at the Department of Engineering, associate member of the MIT SCALE Center for Logistics and Supply Chain Management (LCL) and of the 360Lab at the Interdisciplinary Centre for Security, Reliability and Trust (SnT) at the University of Luxembourg. Since end of 2022 he is also Visiting Professor at the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies at the University of Sydney. His research activities range from mobility and travel behavior analysis and modelling, development of decision support systems, network modelling and control, optimization and data science. Current projects he coordinates include public transport electrification and optimisation, multimodal design and planning, Mobility-as-a-Service and mobility-on-demand modelling, transport and freight intermodal logistics, and big data analytics. He is author of over 250 journal and conference papers, reviewer of top journals in the transportation domain, and associate editor of the Journal of ITS, Transportation Research Part C, and the Journal of Data Science for Transportation. He continuously acts as expert for the European Commission and for the Luxembourgish Ministries of Mobility and Public Works and of Economy, the EIT Urban Mobility, the Italian Ministry of research and many international funding agencies.
