I have a PhD in Transportations Systems, with emphasis in freight choice modelling. I am a researcher with a strong quantitative profile; having worked in projects related to transportation market regulation, econometrical models and cost analysis in public transport. During my professional experience I have worked with different data sources such as surveys (revealed and stated preference surveys for choice modelling), smart card, bus GPS, consignment bills, ship Automatic Information Systems and GIS data. With those sources I have structured databases, processed and combined them in order to provide innovative solutions.
