Directs Crowd Dynamics' research and development team and crowd/pedestrian analysis, with responsibilities of project management, strategy and innovation. I am especially interested in crowd movements, normal and emergency behaviours, and the interaction between pedestrians and traffic. A background in mathematics and transportation consultancy help him more fully understand the core parts of the science as well as how individual situations can be modelled, and how problems can be spotted and dealt with. I am pleased to be able to share my skills to help benefit projects and be at the cutting edge of development in the field. The inputs that this relatively new field has can save lives, and we are at the forefront of this, leading the use of modern technology, strategies and planning. It is fascinating to explore how theoretical techniques and knowledge can directly affect so many aspects of crowds and how this can be transformed into solutions for clients.Current interests involve real-time crowd modelling, dynamic evacuation strategy, pedestrian crossing technology, shared space implementation and behaviour of interactions in crowds.Specialties: Crowd Modelling, Crowd Management, Pedestrian/Traffic Modelling, Project Management, Transport Strategy, Discrete Simulation Programming, User Interface Development

Listed skills include Crowd Modelling, Transport Modelling, Project Management, Programming, and 25 others.
