W. Daamen

Prof. W. Daamen is a Professor of Traffic Systems Engineering at Delft University of Technology's Civil Engineering & Geosciences faculty. His research focuses on urban mobility systems, pedestrian dynamics, and transportation modeling. He leads projects involving microscopic simulation models like PyNOMAD, and collaborates internationally on transportation infrastructure challenges.

• Specializes in multimodal transport analysis including cycling behavior and emergency evacuation modeling
• Develops data collection frameworks for urban planning
• Conducts interdisciplinary studies linking transportation systems with public health (e.g., virus transmission modeling)

Recent work emphasizes:
- Cycling infrastructure evaluation
- Pandemic-related mobility behavior analysis
- Smart city data integration
- Emergency evacuation simulations

Editorial roles include Collective Dynamics journal and active participation in 21+ conferences/workshops since 2017. Supervised 11 graduate research projects.
