Marianne Hatzopoulou

Marianne Hatzopoulou is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering at the University of Toronto and holds the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Transport Decarbonization and Air Quality. She is the Department Chair and leads the Transportation and Air Quality (TRAQ) research group, which investigates the interactions between transportation, air quality, climate change, and public health. Prof. Hatzopoulou is also the Director of Positive Zero Transport Futures, a living lab ecosystem for testing transport decarbonization innovations. She is an associate editor of the journal Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment and serves as the chair of the Transportation Research Board Standing Committee on 'Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Mitigation' (2023-2026).

Marianne Hatzopoulou is a professor at the University of Toronto, specializing in Transportation and Air Quality. Her research focuses on the intersection of transportation systems and environmental health, particularly the impact of traffic-related air pollution on public health. She investigates how transportation patterns influence exposure to pollutants such as ultrafine particles, nitrogen dioxide, and other traffic emissions. Her work includes developing and comparing land use regression models, integrating activity-based travel demand models with emission and dispersion models, and exploring the use of portable sensors and machine learning for air pollution monitoring. Hatzopoulou's research also examines the health effects of long-term exposure to air pollutants, including respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
