Robin Mazumder is an award winning researcher and accomplished keynote speaker sought out internationally to provoke thoughtful discussions on cities and well-being. He is currently completing his doctorate in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Waterloo, where he is studying the psychological impacts of urban design.
Using sophisticated wearable technology and immersive virtual reality, he examines how people experience urban design and architecture. His interest is inspired by his love for cities as well as his front line experience working as a mental health occupational therapist. Robin’s research is funded by the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, Canada’s most prestigious doctoral award.
His research has been featured in the BBC, Wired, Vice and GQ and he has given over 30 keynotes internationally, including at the Biennial of the Americas, the National Bike Summit, and the International Winter Cities Conference.
Congestion. Climate. Affordable transportation. We know the problems, and the solution is already here. How are Colorado communities investing in finding better mobility solutions via the humble bus and what can reliable bus service do to help move more people efficiently, reliably, and affordably?
What do the metrics tell us about where to focus road and mobility safety efforts? Hear directly from the experts about what’s working and what isn’t, and where Colorado should be allocating safety funding and resources to get the highest return on investment and keep moving people forward smoothly and safely.
Strong efforts to fund statewide transportation failed in the past two years. What’s the right next play, and how do we ensure that mobility projects are embedded throughout this effort? Hear experts take a hard look at the pros and cons of regional funding solutions.
Transportation systems are evolving at a dizzying pace. How can the private and public sectors work together effectively to increase safety and mobility options? This panel will explore the need for consistent standards and open access to the cutting-edge digital tools that are transforming the transportation landscape.
Boulder, Denver, the Denver Regional Council of Governments, the Colorado Department of Transportation and individuals affected by traffic violence are all taking steps to address Colorado’s traffic safety epidemic. Hear from the leaders of the effort about what’s working, and what we’ve learned along the way.
