Associate Professor
Dr. Alex Bigazzi
Bio

Dr. Bigazzi is an associate professor at UBC 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, investigating urban bicyclists' uptake of traffic-related air pollution. His primary research areas are the dynamics of travel by foot, bicycle, and emerging human-electric hybrid vehicles such as e-bikes, and traffic-related emissions and air quality. 

Research Area / Group
Transportation Engineering
Research Interests

Active travel behaviour (walking and bicycling), micromobility and emerging human-electric hybrid vehicles (such as e-bikes), motor vehicle emissions and air quality, traffic management, and transport system and scenario modelling
