Dr. ir. A. (Alexandra) Gavriilidou

Profile

Alexandra holds two MSc degrees, one in Mechanical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece) and one in Civil Engineering Transport&Planning Track from the Delft University of Technology (The Netherlands). Between October 2016 and September 2020, she performed her PhD research in the ALLEGRO project, researching the queuing and yielding behaviour of cyclists. Since October 2020, she is working as lecturer and researcher with a focus on active modes.

Research

Understanding and modelling individual cycling behaviour, i.e. how they interact with other traffic participants and with the infrastructure. Currently, she pays special attention to the effects of Covid measures on cycling behaviour.
