His research addresses the pressing need to reduce overreliance on private cars, focusing on equity and tackling climate mitigation urgency within urban transport systems. He concentrates on shared mobility and active transport, developing sustainability and efficiency assessment frameworks by using data analytics and operational research (OR) methods to monitor and analyse progress of this transformational transition. In addition, his research involves crafting public and climate policies aimed at achieving just transitions and enhancing accessibility and affordability in the transport sector. Collaborating with industry partners like VOI, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, the Electricity Supply Board (ESB), and Beate Kubitz Associates enriches the practical impact and relevance of his research.
