His work examines how the design of streets, transport systems and information can either enable or restrict participation in society, with a particular focus on disabled and marginalised travellers. He combines lived-experience research with quantitative modelling to identify practical priorities for policy and design, and works closely with communities and decision-makers to translate evidence into action. Alongside his research, he is Co-Director of the University Alliance Doctoral Training Alliance (Future Societies), where he supports the development of early-career researchers.
