Research interests
My research centers on understanding how different logistics stakeholders are affected by the sustainability transition and how they, in turn, can help achieve sustainability goals. I am interested in a broad range of logistics domains, from urban logistics to heavy road freight transport, and sustainability aspects, from carbon emissions to livability and economic inclusivity. Topics of study include how logistics can adapt to evolving urban spaces, how urban planning can reshape logistics to reduce their footprint in cities, how the decarbonization of road-freight transportation can be accelerated, how novel e-commerce delivery and return options impact CO₂ emissions, and how the transition to green urban logistics can remain equitable for all stakeholders.
