Senior researcher at the Future Cities Laboratory at the Singapore-ETH Centre, Dr. Sergio Arturo Ordonez focuses on modelling and implementing activity-based multi-agent simulations of urban mobility. He will present the Sketch MATSim, a tool for non-programmers to generate urban mobility scenarios, from urban designers to decision makers, to develop strategies to improve travel experience in a more human-centered and sustainable urban environment.

Dr. Seungjae Lee is Professor of Transportation Planning and Director of the Center for Integrated Urban Studies at the University of Seoul. Through his research, he seeks to develop scientific approaches that contribute to better society by enhancing smart mobility systems. He will present his latest research on big data and artificial intelligence techniques used for smart mobility.

Mr. Simone Carena, Founder and Principal at multi-awarded Seoul-based Motoelastico Space Design agency, and associate Professor of Media Design at Hongik University, will moderate the panel discussion.
