Dr David Alvarez Castro’s background is in Survey Engineering, Geodesy and Geospatial Data Science. David is a surveyor engineer, geospatial data scientist and PhD in transport agent-based modelling (AgBM) with experience in both academia and industry. He has been involved in projects where the use of geospatial information has a fundamental role, from infrastructure as-built, to multi-modal transport simulations, passing through 3D railway modelling and COVID-19 simulation scenarios.
David’s research interests revolve around road decarbonisation for a more sustainable and resilient transport future. He is keen on increasing the use of sustainable modes by developing transport mobility scenarios using open-source tools and open access datasets.
