Biographical profile
Caterina Malandri is a Transportation Engineer. In 2016, she earned a Master's Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Bologna with a grade of 110/110.
In 2020 he obtained his PhD in Civil, Chemical, Environmental and Materials Engineering from the same University, discussing a thesis entitled “How to cope with air transport disruptions: airport resilience and vulnerability”.
His research focuses primarily on the vulnerability and resilience of transportation systems, with a particular focus on public and air transportation. He also focuses on the analysis of complex integration issues between bike-sharing and public transportation, the application of Bayesian networks to resilience studies, airport operations, modeling and simulation of transportation systems, and autonomous, cooperative, and connected mobility.
Since 2024 she has been qualified as an associate professor in the competitive sector 08/CEAR-03 (Infrastructures and transport systems, appraisal and evaluation).
