MSc. Milias, V.
Vasileios Milias is a PhD candidate at the Department of Sustainable Design Engineering, Faculty of Industrial Design Engineering.
Academic Background
Vasileios' interest lies in developing methods and tools to inform the design of sustainable, equitable and healthy living environments. His PhD research revolves around the concept of accessibility, a term simple to use but complex to define and measure. "Easy access" is often translated to traveling time, cost, or distance. But could it also be translated to other characteristics that affect peopleā€™s wellbeing? Arguably, a 10-minute walk through a dark, scary alley is not the same as a 10-minute walk through a vibrant street with many trees and flowers.
As a researcher at the Delft University of Technology, Vasileios aims to tackle such questions by revisiting existing accessibility methods and enriching them while accounting for exposures that influence peopleā€™s wellbeing. His PhD position is funded by the Horizon 2020 project named 'Equal-Life: Early environmental quality and life-course mental health effects'.
