Research Interests

I am a quantitative transport geographer. I lead The Just Transport Geography Lab at Western. My research leverages geographic information science, big data analytics, spatial statistics, and time geography to study urban transportation. Specifically, I focus on developing innovative analysis and modelling techniques to enhance our understanding of human mobility and accessibility in time across space. The overarching goal of my research is to provide insights for evidence-based, scientific transport planning and policy to promote sustainability and social justice within cities.

I am currently seeking MSc and PhD Students with interests in social equity analysis of spatial accessibility, real-time & big public transit data analytics, transport project evaluation, and time geography. If interested, please contact me via email along with your up-to-date CV.
