Rico Krueger

Rico Krueger is an Associate Professor in the Intelligent Transportation Systems Section at the Department of Technology, Management and Economics, Technical University of Denmark (DTU). His research focuses on developing models, methods, and technologies at the intersection of behavioral modelling, machine learning, and simulation for human-centric and sustainable transport systems. He leads the IMMERSION project (2024–2029), funded by the ERC Starting Grant, which explores human decision-making through integrated choice and process data analysis. Before DTU, he was a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL (Switzerland) and holds a PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from UNSW Sydney.
