Previously, I completed a MSc at the Institute for Transport Studies and worked in industry as a transport planner for three years. During that time in consultancy, I developed a strong interest in the use open resources applied to understand and solve transport issues.

My research project will look at transferable and scalable methods for traffic estimation on residential roads using open data.
