Expertise Traffic MonitoringTraffic OperationsUnmanned Aerial SystemsData Science Current work pNEUMA: On the New Era of Urban traffic Models with massive empirical data from Aerial footagepNEUMA intends to revolutionize how emerging technologies reshape our understanding of traffic congestion mechanisms, by putting the emphasis on urban networks with disturbances generated by interactions among different types of vehicles.The project targets to better explain the mechanism of congestion formation and propagation in congested multimodal urban environments through massive data from aerial footage and fundamental research prospective. I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Urban Transport Systems Laboratory (LUTS) of the école Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL). I hold a Doctoral Degree in Transportation Engineering from the National Technical University of Athens having graduated in 2017 and a diploma in Civil Engineering (Transportation Engineering Cycle) having graduated in 2012.My primary research field is Traffic Operations, Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) for traffic operations and Data Science. My professional experience includes participation in projects and traffic studies in Greece.
