Alejandro Henao
Alejandro is currently a transportation PhD student in Civil Engineering at the University of Colorado Denver (UCD), president of the Institute of Transportation Engineers UCD Student Chapter, and student leader of the Active Communities/Transportation (ACT) research group. He is conducting his dissertation on evaluating the accuracy of information technologies, and analyzing the travel behavior impacts of information technologies and evolving transportation services.
Alejandro holds an M.S. in civil engineering from UCD and a B.S. in Civil engineering from the University of Colorado Boulder. He is a recipient of the Dwight Eisenhower Transportation Fellowship, the Bridge to the Doctorate Program Fellowship, and the Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program from the National Science Foundation. He has taught the class “Introduction to GIS” in the Civil Engineering department at UCD, and prior to joining the graduate school program at UCD, Alejandro worked professionally as a civil engineer for Contech Bridge, Insituform Technologies, and Opus Northwest in Colorado.
Alejandro has published several transportation research studies in peer-reviewed journals including Transport Policy and Transportation Research Record, and has presented at various conferences such as the Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board, in topics related to transportation infrastructure investments and mode share changes, sporting event stadiums characteristics including parking, and transportation economic resilience. He continues doing research that focuses on creating more sustainable and equitable places such as active transportation, multimodal and intermodal options, information technologies, and evolving transportation modes.
Outside of his studies, Alejandro spends time with his wife and two boys. His favorite activity is to play, watch, and coach fútbol (a.k.a. soccer).
