Our Team

Professor Susan Grant-Muller

Professor Susan-Grant Muller is Chair in Technologies and Informatics at the Institute for Transport Studies and leads the Digital Futures theme, which aims to harness the potential of new forms of digital data to generate policy relevant insights for the transport and related sectors. Susan leads a programme of research into large scale data analytics and the role of novel data in developing sustainable transport policy. Her current interests lie in understanding the wider impacts of ICT enabled mobility infrastructure (such as health, energy and carbon impacts) and understanding incentivisation as part of behaviourally orientated demand management. Susan was a witness to both the House of Lords and House of Commons recent inquiries into the potential for new data forms and enhanced data analytics in the transport sector. She was also a founding leader of the LIDA Societies Community, which aims to shape and progress the way data science is carried out and can benefit future society.

Dr Andrew Tomlinson

Andrew has a software engineering background with a strong interest in public transport, including teaching this subject on the ITS undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Prior to semi-retirement he was also the facilities manager at the ITS suite of driving simulators.

 

 

Dr Yanis Boussad

Yanis Boussad is a research fellow at the Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds. His research interests revolve around computational modelling and simulation, including agent-based modelling, mobility, human behaviour, data science, and environmental health.

 

 

Dr Yuanxuan Yang

Yang is a Lecturer in Data Science of Transport at the Institute for Transport Studies, University of Leeds. His research combines Data Science, Applied AI, Geography and Transport Modelling. He is particularly interested in micromobility systems, geodemographics and emerging data sources. He works with diverse datasets including GPS, social media, and demographic information to create innovative solutions for urban transport challenges.

 

 

Dr Katy-Anne Moseley

Katy spent 13 years working at UKHSA as an environmental microbiologist with a specialism in investigating the transmission, environmental prevalence/persistence and removal of pathogens from both the built and non-built environment. In recent years she has switched focus onto Impact delivery, working at the UOL on the TRACK and CleanTravel projects, as the Future Urban Ventilation Network (FUVN) network manager and currently as an Impact Translation Fellow in Transport and Technologies on the McMatcher Project at ITS.
