Om
PhD researcher in transport modelling since 2024, focusing on pedestrian behaviour at mesoscopic level. Applies behavioural data and modelling to support infrastructure planning and policy development. Professional background in the railway sector provides insight into multimodal transport.
Always interested in research collaborations :) .

Forskning
My PhD investigates how people walk and how this information can improve pedestrian planning across city and rural networks. I analyze GPS tracking and survey data to capture differences in pedestrian behavior and route choice at the mesoscopic level. These insights feed into a decision-making framework to prioritize infrastructure investment and design improvements. Alongside my doctoral work, I contribute to projects on digital twins and use citizen surveys and stakeholder interviews to understand local needs and support mobility transitions.
