Research

I'm interested in residential location modelling, accessibility measurement frameworks, choice modelling, endogeneity and travel behaviour. Much of my research is about inferring relationship between residential location and travel behaviour (bi-directionality and endogeneity) from travel data and understanding human daily-activity pattern. My future research goals include expanding my work to incorporate broader human decision making, bringing together machine learning and econometric methods and causality in choice models.
