Research overview

Motivated by growing environmental impact and social injustice my research focuses on how computing and data science can be utilised to promote environmental sustainability and social justice. My research involves close collaboration with end-users, industry and policy makers, leveraging user resesarch, data science and digital technology. My current work focuses on:

1) collaborative and low-carbon freight deliveries in urban environments

2) developing digital platforms that promote both social justice and sustainability for gig-economy food and parcel delivery workers

3) designing decision support tools that leverage big, heterogeneous data in smart cities and campuses that promote reductions in energy consumption and pollution.
