Marta Gonzalez

Marta Gonzalez is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Her research interests include urban sciences, the built and natural environment, human mobility, energy technologies, statistical physics of complex systems, and network science. Gonzalez's work explores the intersections of people with their environments and social networks, aiming to design urban solutions and enable caring development through new technologies. She has developed tools impacting transportation research and novel approaches to model human mobility and energy technology adoption. Gonzalez is also affiliated with the Energy Technology Area (ETA) at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory as a Physics Research faculty member.

Marta C. Gonzalez is a researcher at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, focusing on Human Mobility, Urban Science, Network Science, Complex Systems, and Computational Social Science. Her work explores patterns of individual and collective human movement using mobile phone data, revealing insights into travel behavior, urban dynamics, and social interactions. She has developed models to understand mobility patterns, migration, and the spread of phenomena like mobile phone viruses. Her research also examines the role of geographic constraints in social networks and the use of mobility data for urban planning and epidemic modeling.
