Faculty
Assistant Professor
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. He received his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Portland State University in 2014. 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.
