Worked principally in the field of modelling. Experienced in all levels of modelling having worked on highway assignment projects, mesoscopic projects, microsimulation projects and corridor/intersection analysis projects. Worked on the consulting team since 2006 on project development and client support as a specialist in data integration, data modelling and system requirements. Domain expert in multimodal transport planning and information. In addition to developing software for the use, automation and extension of modelling tools, areas of specialist knowledge include interpretation and import of legacy transport models, GIS, traffic signals, traffic management and management of multi-level transport models. Key strength is being able to bridge the gap between core product capabilities and specialist client needs by putting together bespoke tools, often while based on client side. Also worked as software trainer to external clients. Worked on a variety of transport modelling projects across Europe, Australia, the United States and Far East. Also worked as the multimodal domain specialist for requirements and data modeling on the EU FP6 eMOTION (Europe-wide multi-Modal On-trip Traffic InformatiON) project. Selected Projects of Interest: Horizon 2020 (SETA, PHOEBE, ACUMEN, DIT4TRAM), Thane Citywide Project, Perth Demonstrator, Melbourne Multilevel Demonstrator, Commonwealth Games Improvement Model, Sydney CBD model, Integrated Corridor Management Initiative, Brisbane Strategic Model, Manhattan Traffic Model, Tokyo 2016 Olympic Bid Operations Model, EU FP6 eMOTION Technologies used: Python, XML, SCATS, JSON, Aimsun Next, Aimsun Meso AAPI, Aimsun Micro AAPI, SQL Modelling Applications: Strategic Models, Operarional Models, Evacuation, Tolling/HOV/HOT, Transit Priority, Safety Assessment, V2X, Multimodal Studies, City Logistics, Active Mobility, Autonomous Vehicles, Emissions, ITS System-in-Loop
Doctoral Thesis on use of Speech Technology in Traveller Information. Research involved examination of specific requirements of travelling public including special interest groups, present state of research in spoken dialogue systems and associated technology, specification, design, build and pilot test of a dialogue system meeting specific research needs.
Mobile portal development. Team member on Systems Integration (mostly Advertising solution integration) and System Architecture teams (documentation and interfacing with requirements team). This provided chance to see an entirely new product being created in an unknown market, an well as formal introduction to a traditional system design process.
C++/SQL on Unix development on Collections Mediations Team on large scale telecoms billing solution. First experiences with large scale IT project tools for code management, testing and delivery.
Millimetre Wave Technology Researcher. Corporate Intranet Development. Placement as part of sandwich degree. Worked with earliest examples of airport scanners and passive mine detection.
