Freddy Nogueira

PhD Student

Freddy graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Fortaleza in Brazil. During his bachelor’s, he ventured abroad as part of the Brazilian Scientific Mobility Program, landing in the USA where he was honored as a Fulbright Brazil undergraduate scholar at the University of Kentucky.

Following this, he pursued a Master’s degree in Sustainable Urbanism and Spatial Planning at Nova University of Lisbon. During his time at Nova University, Freddy collaborated with the Almada Municipality on integrating urban areas of illegal genesis with sustainable mobility infrastructures to help them gain legal approval.

At Instituto Superior Técnico, he is affiliated with the Center for Innovation in Territory, Urbanism, and Architecture (CiTUA) under the grant (1801P.00996.1.01) CiTUA Programático 20-23/UIDP/05703/2020 (16/2021-IST-ID), funded by FCT/MCTES (PIDDAC), where Freddy blends his urban mobility knowledge with his urbanism know-how.

Currently working towards a Ph.D. in Transportation Systems, Freddy’s research focuses on implementing affordable and adaptable interventions in public spaces to promote micromobility modes in cities. He also brings hands-on experience in building construction, budgeting, and civil engineering consulting projects from his time in Brazil.
