I am passionate about developing and applying integrated spatial modelling techniques that bring together land use, transport networks and infrastructure development. Through my work on the integrated model suites, I have gained expertise in strategic, long‐term impact assessment – evaluating how urban growth and new transport links interact over decades to shape accessibility, environmental outcomes and socioeconomic patterns.
My second core interest lies in resilient infrastructure and disaster risk management. I have designed multi‐objective spatial optimisation frameworks that balance cost, accessibility and robustness under natural hazard scenarios. Whether it’s identifying priority locations for small‐tank water storage in Sri Lanka or deploying genetic algorithms to site health clinics in remote New Zealand, I draw on advanced optimisation methods and GIS to deliver solutions that maximise societal resilience at minimum cost.
Spatial justice and equity in mobility is another central theme of my research. I have investigated how socio‐economic deprivation influences demand for emergency services, uncovering spatial clusters of pregnancy‐related ambulance calls in Greater London. More recently, I have analysed London’s electric‐vehicle charging rollout and optimised demand‐responsive transport networks in Greater Manchester, using Geographically Weighted Regression and demand–supply indexing to ensure that decarbonisation and flexible transit benefits are distributed fairly.
