Bio:
Nicolò Daina studies the behavior of users in integrated transportation and energy systems. As transportation is increasingly electrified, understanding the travel and charging choices of electric vehicle drivers and users of shared electric mobility (e-mobility) systems is crucial for the planning and operation of mobility and charging services. Ultimately, quantitative models of users’ behavior enable the estimation of local and regional demand impinging on transportation and electricity networks and the development of approaches to manage the demand so that such networks can operate efficiently.

Prof. Daina received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in aerospace engineering from Politecnico di Torino, and his M.Sc. in renewable energy and energy efficiency from Politecnico di Milano. He holds a Ph.D. in transportation from Imperial College London. Before joining Columbia University as research scientist at Columbia Engineering and the SIPA Centre on Global Energy Policy, Daina held positions at University of Strathclyde (Chancellor’s Fellow and Lecturer) and Imperial College London.
