Research Interests:
Cameron is a PhD student in the Complex Transport Systems Laboratory. His research centres around the modelling and optimisation of shared on-demand transportation services, particularly considering urban traffic dynamics and interactions between the on-demand fleet and surrounding traffic. He is also interested in how transportation systems will evolve with new developments such as autonomous electric vehicles and mobility as a service.
Personal Interests:
Cameron is a violinist and singer, and in 2023 was awarded a University of Canterbury Tohu Kahurangi | Blues Award for his achievements in music. He is a member of the New Zealand Youth Choir along with multiple local groups.
Personal or academic and or professional history:
