TEAM
YUSAK SUSILO, Univ. Prof. Dr.
Head of the DAVeMoS research group
Yusak O. Susilo is the Chair and BMK Endowed Professor in Digitalisation and Automation in Transport and Mobility Systems. His main research interest lies in the intersection between transport and urban planning, transport policy, decision making processes and behavioural interactions modelling. Users' adaptation and learning processes towards new options, such as digitisation, automation and other new technologies have been the focus of his research in recent years.

MARTYNA (BOGACZ) FIDLER, MA (Hons), MSc., Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Researcher
Dr. Fidler's interest is the behavioral aspect of digitalization and automation with a particular focus on the human decision-making process. Therefore, in her work she intends to use virtual reality, biometric measures and neuroimaging to understand the interaction between digital transformation of transport system and human factors
ROXANI GKAVRA, M.Eng., M.Sc.
Research Assistant/PhD student
Ms. Gkavra's research interests are travel behaviour, active mobility, and the integration of emerging data collection methods in capturing and the travel choice behaviour and travel experience. She is currently working on the analysis of demand responsive transport (DRT) services in suburban, rural, and touristic areas in Austria, and in particular in the region of Salzburg.
SHUN SU, B.Sc., M.Eng., M.Sc.
Research Assistant/PhD student
Mr. Su's primary research interests are mobility behaviour analysis and transport optimization modelling. His research will majorly focus on analysing the movement patterns of travellers utilizing alternative data sources and exploring hybrid approach in travel modelling.
