Biography |
[ENG]
MSc in Control and Electronic Engineering from the Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain) in 2002. PhD at the University of Florence in 2018 (Dottorato Europeaus), thesis “Study of motorcyclist behaviour during emergency braking in the perspective of safety training”.
Worked for nine years as Project Manager of R&D projects based on Human Factors and User Centered Design for the automotive, clothing and habitat sectors at the Instituto de Biomecánica de Valencia (Spain). Since 2014 in MOVING, with research projects in the field of road safety related to two-wheeled vehicles (motorbikes, e-bikes and bicycles) through naturalistic studies, field experiments and in-depth crash data. His research activity has been carried out within European projects (MOTORIST, SAFE2WHEELERS, PIONEERS and SAFE-UP) in the development of driver behaviour models; analysis of response in emergency events; ITS development and evaluation; and driver training methods.
