Biography:
Gabriel is a Ph.D. student in urban studies at the Nohad A. Toulan School of Urban Studies and Planning. Before this he worked in the private sector as a Transit & Transportation Planner, and in the public sector as Director of a Planning Department in a municipality, for more than 8 years combined. Gabriel's research interest includes transit planning with a particular interest in buses, equity in transit, land use planning, complete streets, and active modes of transportation. Gabriel is from Puerto Rico and would love to do research that improves the quality of life for Puerto Ricans (and of everyone) through transit. In my free time, I like to ride transit (specifically the bus system), watch a good series or movie, read, try different foods, go to the beach and just try to have fun with friends and family and enjoy life.
