Dr. Nicolas Brusselaers

Nicolas Brusselaers is a guest professor and senior researcher in the Sustainable Logistics team of the Mobilise Research Group (VUB) and post-doctoral research at Linköping University (Sweden). His field of research currently revolves around the systemic environmental and economic interplay between transportation, urban development and energy, and more concretely on projects related to sustainable, construction and zero-impact transport & logistics.

During his PhD in Business Economics at Vrije Universiteit Brussel, he modeled the dynamic impact of construction transport on air quality. Afterwards, he joined Linköping University (LiU, Sweden) for a 2-year postdoc specializing further in Construction Logistics, where he is still part-time affiliated. Nicolas built an extensive network in developing European sustainability assessment and governance frameworks and their regional implementations, and supervises doctoral candidates in the fields of data-driven last-mile transport and circular construction logistics. He taught courses on Emerging Concepts & Practices in Transport (Ph.D.), Sustainable & Digital Construction Supply Chains (MSc.2) and Supply Chain Management (MSc.2). In addition, Nicolas chairs the European NECTAR cluster on Logistics & Freight.
