Cornelia Graf works in the subject areas transport and environment with the main focus road traffic air-pollutant emissions and quantitative analyses.

She studied Environmental Sciences at the ETH Zurich (CH) and, during a study exchange programme, at the School of Earth and Environment in Leeds (UK). In addition to her studies, she worked as a tutorial assistant at the ETH Zurich. During her two internships, she was, on the one hand, concerned with water supply and distribution as well as drinking water quality in remote mountain regions of Nepal and, on the other hand, with the process optimisation of a Swiss biogas plant. After extra-occupational postgraduate studies in Transport Engineering at the Institute for Transport Planning and Systems (IVT) at the ETH Zurich, she started her professional career at the Civil Engineering Department of the City of Zurich; first as a trainee and later as a project leader in the area transport infrastructures.
