Naroa Coretti Sánchez

Naroa Coretti's research is focused on designing future mobility modes and understanding their impacts through modeling and simulations. Her work aims to make future cities more walkable and human-centric by incentivizing increased use of active mobility modes. Her current research studies the effects of introducing autonomy on shared micro-mobility systems from the perspectives of vehicle design, fleet-level performance, and environmental impacts.

Coretti holds a BSc in Mechanical Engineering and an MSc in Industrial Technologies, and she is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the MIT City Science group.
