🎒 I’m at UCL’s Behaviour & Infrastructure Group (BIG). I’m working on tools for helping humanity make better infrastructure and policy decisions. Technically I’m using Generative Models and Reinforcement Learning to model millions of perfectly imperfect people. In practice, I’m enabling modelling of complex human systems - such as for an efficient and fair transition to electric vehicles.
🤙🏻 I’m open to temporary and part-time work (cv) (email me).
👷🏻 I like to build things. I am the author of pam - a python library for activity-based model development. Pam is published in JOSS. Pam was originally built to help transport modellers respond to the pandemic (medium) (youtube).
🚂 I’ve also build mc and elara to help people use (the infamous) MATSim. Check out my github for current projects.
🤟🏻 I’m very proudly the former Technical Lead for Arup’s City Modelling Lab (CML). Read about their exploits here.
🌱 Still reading? Thanks! This site is a place for me to find work, but also keep my sanity (academia is a strange place to be) through (i) connecting with people and (ii) keeping a record of what I’m doing. I like to climb, play ultimate and talk about plants.
