- Education: LLB (University of Strathclyde, 2002), PhD (University of Strathclyde, 1998), BEng (University of Strathclyde, 1989)
Dr. Ferguson’s research examines the interplay between urban form and mobility patterns, statistical/econometric modeling of travel behavior, and the role of transport accessibility in health and sustainability. His innovative work includes quasi-longitudinal studies of travel behavior change and computational methods linking public transport timetables to GIS data.
Recent publications highlight his contributions to understanding transport-related social inequalities, climate change adaptation, and active travel. Funded by agencies like EPSRC, MRC, and Scottish Government, his research spans Europe and Malawi, addressing global challenges in transport equity and network resilience.
