About me
I joined the Centre for Transport and Society (CTS) in 2007, initally as a PhD researcher. My principal research interest lies in the field of sustainable and physically active forms of travel, particularly within the context of everyday urban trips. My PhD thesis drew on social-psychological theories of behaviour and processes of social influence, an area that I have continued to explore in my subsequent research in CTS. In 2022-2023 I held an ESRC Policy Fellowship, during which I was seconded to the UK Department for Transport (DfT), working in the Behavioural Science team within DfT’s Central Research Division.
In CTS I have carried out a variety of projects in the areas of travel behaviour, innovation, and the evaluation of sustainable transport programmes. Since 2020 I have been part of the team conducting the National Evaluation of the Transforming Cities Fund for DfT. In 2023-25, I led the evaluation of the Active Travel Social Prescribing project in Bath and North East Somerset. Previous evaluations included the LSTF Strategic Employment Sites case study evaluation conducted for DfT. Other projects have explored cycle commuting, the use and users of e-bikes, the user experience of bike-share, the role of traveller information systems in travel behaviour, and the impact of free WiFi on travel time use on trains.
