Bio
Keke Merz studied electrical engineering (B.Eng., DHBW) and electromobility (M.Sc., University of Stuttgart) with a study thesis on the evaluation of inter-urban bicycle traffic systems. Their master's thesis focused on the development and evaluation of application concepts for passenger and freight transportation with the DLR's driverless, modular “U-Shift” vehicle. After two years working in the energy and mobility transition, Keke returned to the university and has been researching the socio-economic benefits of cycling infrastructure at TUM since March 2024 as a member of the READAPT Emmy Noether Junior Research Group funded by the DFG.
Keke's research in the READAPT project contributes to understanding to what extent and with which measures cycling infrastructure can be a resilience booster in the city in the overall transport system and in society (e.g. health, social participation, economy).
