My doctoral defense was on the topic, 'Responsive Infrastructure Planning - Towards Efficient and Effective Transport Infrastructure Planning through Mapping, Analysis and Scanning tools'

System operators responsible for implementing system developments based on innovative technologies to improve operational efficiency, must adhere to safety requirements for scalable and well-documented solutions to acquire regulatory approval. This requires consideration of multiple stakeholders and a highly complex conceptualisation process guaranteeing railway system safety. Any changes to the interdependent documentation to ensure ongoing compliance with safety requirements would be necessary triggering cascading effects throughout the entire project, potentially increasing costs and delaying development, ultimately slowing down innovation within the railway system.

RENOMIZE is an EU Horizon Europe project lead by Joanneum Research with 16 consortium members joining forces to leverage know-how and engineering innovations for more sustainable and efficient building renovation processes.

Our module focuses on conducting cutting-edge studies and can be summarised into three pillars - (a) Transforming and forecasting city-wide mobility patterns, (b) Decision-making and planning processes for transport infrastructure in the face of uncertainties, and (c) Sustainable and interactive land-use planning.

This research (1) maps the planning process of transport infrastructure, (2) identifies the potential of adaptive planning methods in planning practice, (3) develops state-of-the-art tools to plan regional infrastructure development considering future uncertainties
