ReImagining mobility

Telekomunikazio Ingeniaritzako masterra Nafarroako Unibertsitatean, eta baita MBA ere China Europe International Business School-en (CEIBS).

2020ko ekainaz geroztik MUBIL Fundazioaren zuzendari nagusia. Horren aurretik Inditex Taldean egin du bere ibilbide profesionala, ZARAren Banaketa Proiektuen zuzendari lanetan jardun baitu bertan; eta lehenago Siemens-en (Alemania) aritu da, proiektu-kudeatzaile eginkizunetan. Eskarmentu handia du, bai nazioarte mailan bai maila profesionalean, ingeniaritzaren eta proiektu kudeaketaren esparruan.

Luis Alberto Alonso Pastor is a research scientist in the City Science group and Principal Investigator of the Andorra Living Lab Project. He has a PhD in architecture and coordinates the Andorra Living Lab project. He oversees the integration of the group's diverse research topics (energy consumption, city simulation, urban mobility, innovation district, and smart housing) in City Science Network of Collaborative Cities, to provide comprehensive solutions for urban and country challenges, in order to transform cities into more diverse and vibrant human scale ecosystems.

Since he is focused on very different lines of research and work, his antidisciplinary approach fits on the Media Lab philosophy: City Science, urban indicators, big data analysis, urban planning, architectural robotics, building design and construction, new and smart materials (free-form transparent energy efficient envelopes and biomedical uses), energy simulation and building efficiency and sustainability, eco-innovation, e-learning and its impact on social networks, new technologies, IoT, etc.

Naroa Coretti Sánchez is a PhD student in the City Science group. A mechanical engineer with a master's degree in industrial (mech.) engineering graduated from TECNUN- Universidad de Navarra, Naroa's research is focused on future mobility modes.

One of her projects, the MIT Autonomous Bicycle Project, explores how to transform bicycle-sharing systems to offer a more attractive and efficient solution for users. By bringing the convenience of on-demand mobility to bicycle sharing systems will solve some of the current challenges faced with bike-share programs, including redistribution, and in addition, it will incentivize increased use of shared lightweight transport.

She designed and built an autonomous bicycle prototype that can be requested on-demand, will drive to the user, and then will behave as a regular bicycle during the journey before returning to autonomous mode to pick up its next rider. She has also worked on fleet level agent based simulations and studies that study the performance and environmental impacts of autonomous micro-mobility systems. The results of these simulations show that autonomy could reduce fleet sizes and provide an improved system efficiency and user experience compared to current station-based and dockless systems.

Thomas Sanchez Lengeling is an engineer, artist, and scientist with a master's degree from the MIT Media Lab at the Opera of the Future Group and a bachelor's degree in engineering and computer science from the University of Guanajuato in Mexico.

Before joining the Media Lab, Thomas was working in different creative industries as a technologist and creative coder. He worked in Mexico City, NYC, and Germany. He also worked as a researcher at the MIT Physics Department, where he developed and created technologies to study human color perception. He volunteers in Clubes de Ciencia Mexico. A non-profit organization that focuses on expanding access to high-quality science education in Mexico and Latin-America.

He has exhibited and performed at Ars Electronica Linz, Medialab-Prado Madrid, tro de Cultura Contemporánea de Barcelona, Chaos Communication Congress CCH Hamburg, Münster Festival, Museum of Fine Arts Boston (MFA), Museum of Science Boston, Bienal de Artes Mediales Chile, CENART Mexico( Centro Nacional de las Artes ), Festival Internacional de Artes Electrónicas y Video Mexico, Festival Internaticional Cervantino Mexico, MUTEK Mexico, Encuentro de las Artes Escénicas Mexico, Centro Cultural de España en México, Conservatorio Nacional CDMX.

He has published in the Science Journal, Thresholds Journal, Leonardo Journal, SIGGRAPH, NIME, CSCW, ICLC, ISMAR, GPU Technology Conference, and the Computing Conference 2020.

Gabriela Bílá is an architect, multimedia designer and artist born in Brasília, Brazil. She uses discussions over the contemporary city as the raw material of her work, combining new media and tangible interfaces to reimagine cities.

Gabriela is currently enrolled as a graduate researcher at the City Science group. Prior to joining MIT, she used to work on interactive exhibitions for science communication. Her first solo exhibition, Teleport City, is an utopic narrative about multiple side effects on society derived from a radical shift in the global mass means of transportation. She's also the author of the New Guide to Brasilia, selected by Brazilian Historical Heritage Department as one of the essential books to understand preservation of Brazilian historical heritage sites. She has international work experience in the architecture practice OMA (Office for Metropolitan Architecture, Rotterdam).

Gabriela likes to make beautiful things.
