Dr Panos MAVROS

Panos Mavros is a researcher at the Future Cities Laboratory (FCL) of the Singapore-ETH Centre, where he is the Project Coordinator of the project Cognition, Perception and Behaviour in Urban Environments. Panos (Dip. Eng. Architecture NTUA, MSc) studied Architecture at the National Technical University of Athens, Greece and Digital Media at the University of Edinburgh, UK.

He completed his PhD at The Bartlett Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis (CASA) at University College London, where he specialised in the perception and experience of urban spaces, focusing on spatial cognition research, and the use of psychophysiological methods, such as mobile EEG, to measure feelings of anxiety or comfort, as way to understand the interaction between people and the environment.

At the Future Cities Laboratory, Panos' research is focused in on wayfinding behaviours in complex multilevel environments, using psychophysiological methods to study the experience of urban space, and the translation of spatial cognition research into design and policy.

Research  

Panos's research interest is to understand the behaviour of people in the built environment, and its implications on the design or simulation of environments. In particular, his focus is how people experience and feel in architectural and urban spaces, and the study of navigation behaviour and decision making in different environments.
