Dr. Alex Bigazzi

Dr. Bigazzi joined UBC in 2015, with a joint appointment in the Department of Civil Engineering and the School of Community and Regional Planning. Dr. Bigazzi received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Portland State University (PSU) in 2014, and his M.Sc. from PSU in 2011. His research areas include transportation emissions and air quality, active travel behavior, traffic management and modeling, and the effects of urban transportation systems on health.
