Research Interests
My doctoral thesis is focused on understanding various theories of justice, specifically sufficientarianism, in the transportation sector. I aim to analyze how these theories can inform policy decisions and help create more equitable transportation systems and land use planning.
I explore the relationships between transportation systems, land use, and population to allocate resources equitably when planning cities. Specifically, I am studying the effects of the Modifiable Temporal Unit Problem and the Modifiable Areal Unit Problem on the accessibility to supermarkets in Montreal.
Current research:
I am interested in understanding the relationship between public transport, land use and population to improve cities and have a more equitable distribution of resources. Specifically, I am studying the biases when choosing a predetermined spatial and temporal scale in the accessibility to supermarkets in Montreal.
