Cecília Silva. She completed her Aggregation in Civil Engineering in 2020, her PhD in Civil Engineering in 2008, her Master in Urban Environmental Planning and Design in 2005 and her BSc in Civil Engineering in 2001, all at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. She is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto. She has published 21 articles in specialized journals. She supervised 2 PhD theses, co-supervised 1 PhD thesis (with 3 more orientations and 3 co-supervisions, ongoing), and supervised 16 Master's theses. She has received 2 prizes for pedagogic recognition. She has participated in several research projects, two as the Principal Investigator. The scientific activity covers the areas of Land Use and Transport Planning with special focus on the management of accessibility and urban mobility, addressing in an integrated way land use and transport policies. Her research focuses, more specifically, on accessibility measures and on planning support tools for integrated land use and transport planning that contribute to a more sustainable urban mobility. More recently her research has focused on the usefulness of planning tools, in particular by involving planning professionals (potential users of these tools) in the development and evaluation of these tools.
