His research centers on smart city mobility equity, active transportation systems, and sustainable transportation planning in developing nations, with significant contributions to infrastructure justice and social equity in engineering education. Fieldwork in Ghana drives his empirical studies on pedestrian safety and traffic dynamics.

Recent publications (2020-2024) reveal a strong focus on transportation inequities in the Global South, particularly Ghanaian urban contexts. Key themes include pedestrian risk perception, motorcycle-pedestrian crash factors, and CIT-E frameworks addressing infrastructure disparities—demonstrating consistent commitment to equitable mobility solutions.
