Research

In 2013 he studied Singaporean bus lines and how often do people commute on the same bus. It is possible that the study will be used to predict the spread of diseases in urban areas.[3]

In 2017 he published a study in which he said that according to the data, women are less likely to find a new job opportunity in comparison to men[4] and the same year published another study in which he studied traffic jams in Switzerland. During that study he said that according to Zurich University of Technology data it showed that when a person changes a job, the journey from home to work becomes even longer.[5]
