Maria Laura Delle Monache is an Assistant Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at UC Berkeley. Dr. Delle Monache’s research lies at the intersection of transportation engineering, mathematics, and control theory. Dr. Delle Monache’s research is focused on understanding the implication of technology on transportation systems. In particular, the effect that technology has on traffic, sustainability and equity. Dr. Delle Monache’s work focuses on building mathematical models and control strategies that can help assess how new vehicular technology will impact traffic congestion, traffic emissions and access to transport.
