Paulo Fernandes got his PhD in the Doctoral Programme in Mechanical Engineering in the University of Aveiro, in 2017. The thesis was considered to be deserving of praise and distinction by unanimity, resulting in 7 papers in international journals. His current research interests include: 1) Road traffic emissions monitoring; 2)Emissions modelling; 3) Intersection design and control strategies; 4) Simulation and analysis of transport systems, active modes, and new mobility forms; and 5) Data-driven analysis. Between 2017 and 2020, he worked as post-doc researcher and further as an Assistant Researcher in the MobiWise project at the Centre for Mechanical Technology and Automation (TEMA). His main role consisted of supervising young research fellows regarding the traffic, noise, emissions, and safety modelling. He also worked at DICA-VE project as junior research at TEMA in the management of activities from research fellows, namely emissions monitoring and modelling (2020 and 2021). After that, he was junior research at TEMA in the Driving2Driverless project in activities related to the cost-benefit analysis of shared, autonomous, and electric vehicles services (2021). Currently, he has a contract as junior research at TEMA with his own project entitled "IDRIVE: Incorporating Driving Volatility Information into a Rating system to Inform drivers about Vehicle Emission rates", which is centred on developing rating systems for NOx and PM emissions from Euro 6 vehicles. He also got a post-graduation degree in Data Analysis for Business (2023) to increase his skills as transport data analyst, namely, statistic methods, data visualization tools, data mining and machine learning algorithms. He was selected to participate and awarded with a grant in the Cost Connect (How to Shape a Sustainable Urban Mobility for all?) and COST action (WISE-ACT Training School in Modelling and Policy Analysis Tools to Explore the Future of AVs) networking instruments which allowed for extending his international collaboration. In addition to previous works and being a team member of several scientific projects such as @CRUiSE or InFLOWence, he collaborated in 2019 as a technical consultant in an audit of the energy used of the transport sector in Bartica, Guyana with the Instituto do Ambiente e Desenvolvimento in activities related to experimental survey design, energy analysis, and policy recommendations. He participated as member in the Mobility Plan of the University of Aveiro (concluded in January 2020) in the establishment and evaluating of measures for promoting soft modes and improving quality of life within the University Campus. Finally, he belonged to the Organizing Committee of the EWGT2021: 24th Euro Working Group on Transportation in September 2021. Since 2017, he supervised and/or supervises 6 master students in the Mechanical Engineering Integrated Master Course. Due to the collaboration with researchers from the North Carolina State University, University of Tennessee, University of Palermo, Institute of Telecommunications, TU Delft, University of Salerno, and University of Coimbra he has been improving his research skills in traffic theory, emissions monitoring, intelligent transport systems, road infrastructure, automated technology, automatic data collection methods, and noise modelling. He has published 37 articles and 14 conference papers in SCOPUS indexed journals (20 as the main corresponding author, total of 711 citations and h-index of 17), some of them are top 20 most-cited Transport (Transportation Research Part-D, Sustainable Cities and Society, Transportation Research Part-A), Earth and Planetary Sciences (Atmospheric Environment), Environmental Science (Science of the Total Environment, Applied Energy, Journal of Environmental Management) journals according to the CiteScore 2022 rank, 3 book chapters, and 17 papers in international transport conferences (IEEE, EWGT, TRA, TRB, WCTR).
