Carolina Osorio

Dr. Osorio is the SCALE AI Research Chair in Artificial Intelligence for Urban Mobility and Logistics and an Associate Professor in the Department of Decision Sciences at HEC Montréal. She is also a visiting professor at MIT.

Her lab develops techniques to create, enable, and support the disruptive technologies that will shape the mobility systems of the future.

Their techniques enable high‐resolution models and data, obtained at the scale of individual travelers and vehicles, to be used to optimize the performance of mobility systems at the scale of entire cities and metropolitan areas. Their techniques combine ideas from various areas including probability theory, simulation, simulation-based optimization, derivative-free optimization, nonlinear optimization, statistics, traffic control and traffic flow theory.

Her projects have addressed topics such as car-sharing, congestion pricing, traffic management and model calibration.
