Urban Design Strategies as a critical Agent for Knife Crime-prevention
This is an exciting opportunity to research how by (re)designing urban public space, specific types of crime could be prevented. The state-of-the-art urban design research indicates that there is little research on the subject of knife crime. Read more

Modelling and Optimisation of Urban Evacuation Procedures
Background. Evacuation constitutes the most fundamental strategy in the response to a humanitarian disaster. Key among the factors impeding evacuation is the unique traffic patterns that arise due to the sudden surge in travel demand, which contravene nominal traveller behaviour. Read more
PhD Studentship: Assessing the impact of deep shafts in urban areas - (ENG 1675)
Construction of large and deep shafts in urban areas is necessary for various construction activities, such as tunnel construction where shafts serve as integral components of the tunnel construction and often operational phases. Read more
Peripherocene: The Architecture of Peripheries in the Era of the Anthropocene (SF23/EE/ABE/MCEWAN)
This project investigates the intersection of rapid peripheral urbanisation and the profound impact of the climate crisis. Uneven urban expansion into continuous peripheries has emerged as a dominant form of urbanisation. Read more
A systems approach to urban mobility: The role of micro-mobility in achieving net zero
The aim of the PhD is to develop a systems-view of mobility and transport in urban areas to empirically establish the influence that new forms of mobility e.g. Read more
