Kelly J. Clifton

Kelly J. Clifton is a Hans Fischer Senior Fellow at the Institute for Advanced Study (TUM-IAS), affiliated with the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Portland University. Hosted by Prof. Rolf Moeckel, her research focuses on Modeling Spatial Mobility, integrating land use, transportation systems, environmental impact, and health outcomes. She investigates travel behavior, spatial analysis of household/firm location choices, and the interplay between urban design and mobility patterns.

Her work emphasizes data-driven approaches to infrastructure planning, including pedestrian and bicycle facility design, and the implications of spatial resolution in transport models. Collaborations with institutions like TUM-IAS and co-authors such as Cat Silva and Qin Zhang highlight her contributions to sustainable urban development.
