Study and research

I am interested in hearing from prospective PhD and Masters students working on transport data science, active travel, open data and open-source tools for planning.

See the Institute for Transport Studies research degrees page for funding and how to apply.
The Transport Data Science module gives a flavour of the methods I teach.
When you email, include a few sentences on your research idea, how it links to my publications or projects, and your CV.

Collaboration

I work with public bodies, charities, companies and other researchers on data, models and tools for sustainable transport, from national planning tools to city-level studies. See current projects for examples, then email me with an outline of your question, data or idea.

Software and methods questions

I get many questions about software, and asking in public is usually best:

Open an issue or discussion on the relevant GitHub repository. You are likely to get a quicker answer, and other people can benefit from it.
I prioritise well-asked questions with a reproducible example.
For geographic data science with R or Python, join the geocompx Discord:

Talks and media

I speak about open tools, transport data and reproducible research at conferences, workshops and training events. See past and upcoming events, then email me with the date, audience and format.
