Curriculum Vitae

Joao Fonseca Bigotte

Joao Fonseca Bigotte is an assistant professor of innovation in urbanism and transportation at the University of Coimbra. Currently, he acts as Coordinator of the master course on Urban Mobility Management at the University of Coimbra, and Coordinator of the Working Group on Transport and Mobility of the Regional Development Program of the Centro Region in Portugal (under preparation). Joao holds a degree in Civil Engineering (2003) and a PhD in Spatial Planning and Transportation (2009) from the University of Coimbra. In the past 15 years, Joao has successfully moved from academia to the industry (in 2009, to lead the innovation activities of a corporate group with businesses in engineering, construction, and real estate) and back to academia (in 2015-16, as an invited professor within the scope of the MIT-Portugal Program). Joao has been a visiting scholar at the University of Toronto (Toronto, Ontario) and at MIT (Cambridge, Massachusetts). Joao’s research addresses innovation, transport planning, and spatial planning. In particular, he has focused on the integration of planning decisions about facility location and transport network design, the diffusion and acceptance of transport innovations, and the integration of new mobility solutions under the mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) framework. In his research work, he employs a wide variety of techniques, from statistical analysis (including spatial regression models and choice models) to geographical information systems, and mathematical modeling and optimization. He has published in top scientific journals in these fields such as Transportation Research Part A Policy and Practice, Research in Transportation Business and Management, Environment and Planning B, Sustainable Cities and Society, Computer-Aided Civil and Infrastructure Engineering, and European Journal of Operational Research, among others, and has been involved in research and innovation actions within the frameworks of Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (the Portuguese national funding agency for science, research and technology), COST Action, and EIT Urban Mobility.
