Juan Pablo is a research associate in urban mobility in the PEAK project, an academic partnership between five international universities based in China, Colombia, India, South Africa and the United Kingdom that seeks to improve urban futures through co-production research. As part of PEAK, he is exploring ways to assess how transport alternatives provide different accessibility levels to health services and healthy lifestyles.
Juan Pablo completed his PhD in environmental research at Imperial College London in 2018 where he worked on different methodologies to evaluate personal exposure and inhaled doses of air pollutants in various microenvironments. He worked at the Clean Air Institute in Washington D.C. where he conducted the evaluation of several transport projects in Latin America aimed at reducing greenhouse gas and local air pollutant emissions. He holds an MSc in Environmental Technologies from Imperial College, an MEng in Environmental Engineering, bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering, and bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from Universidad de los Andes in Bogota, Colombia.
