Profile
I hold a dual Bachelor's degree in Transportation and Finance, and a Master’s in Transportation Planning and Management. My undergraduate dissertation examined the relationship between station track utilisation and train headways; my Master's research included headway analysis under virtual coupling systems and train rescheduling under disruptions. My PhD research concerns the insertion of extra trains into existing timetables under short-notice demand. During my PhD, I also contributed to a freight train planning project funded by the UK Department for Transport and Connected Places Catapult.
Research interests
My current research interests lie in optimisation problems that support operational decision-making:
- Train insertion under capacity and operational constraints
- Train rescheduling under disruptions
- Freight resource scheduling, including wagon and locomotive circulation planning
I am particularly interested in understanding real-world operational practices and constraints. My research focuses on mathematical programming and decomposition-based algorithms, with a further interest in optimisation under uncertainty.
