Personal profile

Research profile

Achilleas Psyllidis is an Assistant Professor of Location Intelligence and Spatial Analysis and Director of the Urban Analytics Lab at Delft University of Technology. He is also the Director of the Social Urban Data Lab at the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions and is further affiliated with the Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Centre for BOLD Cities.

His research bridges city design, sustainable urban mobility, and spatial analytics. He investigates how the design, structure, and perceived qualities of the urban environment affect the mobility outcomes and accessibility opportunities of different population groups. Special attention is given to active travel modes (walking, biking), as well as to the influence of mobility systems and land-use distribution in facilitating encounters among individuals and population groups (co-accessibility). His work critically evaluates models of sustainable neighborhood development, such as the ‘X-minute City’.

To realize these objectives, he develops human-centric models and measures of pedestrian accessibility to essential services and amenities. These measures are subsequently integrated into open-source software tools (e.g., CTwalk Map), facilitating the design, planning, and policy toward more livable and inclusive communities. Aligned with this goal, he participates in and leads several Dutch, European, and international research projects on cities, mobility, environmental exposures, health, and well-being. Additionally, he contributes to TU Delft’s ‘Pathways to Mobility Futures’ Vision Team.
