Better transport for a better world
I help governments, international organisations and development partners understand and accelerate the implementation of sustainable, low-carbon transport through research, data analysis and policy insights, supporting evidence-based decision making at global and regional level.
I am a skilled researcher working at the intersection of sustainable transport, climate action and evidence-driven advocacy. Over the years, I have supported governments, the international transport community and development partners in advancing sustainable, low-carbon transport.
Currently, I lead the research work for the SLOCAT Partnership, developing methodologies, strategies and tools in support of knowledge products and advocacy. My expertise spans data analysis, policy analysis, climate finance and research in the context of global processes on climate change and sustainable development, with a focus on the Global South. I have been based in Seoul (Republic of Korea) since 2012.

Through my work, I have engaged with policymakers, practitioners and stakeholders on sustainable transport, climate change and development in over 40 countries. In person, I have travelled to more than a dozen countries in Asia, Africa, Europe and the Americas to support research, advocacy and capacity building:
A selection of long-running research products I have helped build, from global status reporting to tracking climate commitments.
Flagship report · since 2018
SLOCAT's flagship report on trends in transport demand, emissions, policies and finance across all modes and regions. Four editions published, the latest in 2025.
My role: led data collection and analysis, development of figures and country fact sheets, identification of key indicators for every edition.
Database · since 2018 · with GIZ
An open database tracking transport targets, measures and policies in Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and long-term strategies, used to assess whether climate commitments put transport on track for 1.5°C.
My role: led development of underlying assessment approach, parameters, analysis reports and poolicy recommendations.
Mentoring · since 2019 · with VREF
A programme to engage young professionals, raising their capacity and connecting their transport expertise to climate change and sustainable development processes, focusing on participants from Africa.
My role: led the development and implementation of the programme, conduct mentoring sessions and provide engagement opportunities.
Research area · since 2022 · freight
Research on how climate commitments address freight, including a roadmap for transformative action and an assessment of China, India and Viet Nam.
My role: led methodology development and analysis on the freight, conducted desk research and participated in workshops.
Leading SLOCAT's research work by developing methodologies, strategies and tools in support of knowledge products and advocacy. Conducting and overseeing research and data analysis for flagship reports including the Transport, Climate and Sustainability Global Status Report. Managing the SLOCAT–VREF Young Leaders in Sustainable Transport programme.
Conducted data collection and analysis for knowledge products and advocacy activities. Led production of all figures, key indicators and data for the first SLOCAT Global Status Report on Transport, Climate and Sustainability.
Delivered research and data for country fact sheets, reports and public interventions. Introduced new techniques and tools to improve operations and knowledge management.
Supported sustainable transport activities. Developed an indicator-based assessment and conceptual approach to map suitable policy actions for developing countries' transport needs.
