Rui Colaço is a researcher at CERIS, coming from a PhD in Territorial Engineering at Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), University of Lisbon. His academic background is also in Territorial Engineering at IST. Since Fall 2022, he is also a Fulbrighter. Before starting his research career, he worked for over 15 years as an engineer and urban planner in local government and private practice. His research now sits at the intersection of urban and transport planning, focusing on how ICT (telework, e-shopping and digital services) reshapes travel behaviour, land use and low-carbon urban development. Having been funded by an FCT PhD studentship during his PhD, he has since worked on the REMOBIL (FCT) and SPINE (Horizon Europe) projects, examining post-pandemic changes in mobility, accessibility and land use in the context of climate-neutral city transitions.
