João Santos is an Assistant Professor at the department of Construction Management and Engineering at the Faculty of Engineering Technology at the University of Twente (UT) since 2018.

In 2016, João Santos completed the doctoral program in Transportation Systems provided by the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra (FCTUC), the Technical University of Lisbon (UTL), and the Faculty of Engineering of University of OPorto (FEUP), Portugal. During his graduate studies in Transportation Systems at the FCTUC, he spent a year and a half as visiting scholar at the Centre for Sustainable Transportation Infrastructure (CSTI), at the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI), USA.

Prior to his position at the UT, he was a recipient of a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Post-Doctoral Fellowship working on an EU Framework 7 funded project SUPR&R ITN (www.superitn.eu), at IFSTTAR in Nantes.

He conducts research at the interface of civil engineering, operation research and environmental technology. His work develops assessment methodologies, frameworks and operation search methods, such as optimization algorithms, to handle from a data-driven and optimized-based perspective the commonly existing trade-off relationships underlying to the application of sustainability, resilience and circularity principles, when planning, designing, maintaining and operating infrastructures, transportation systems and cities.
