SPECIALIZATIONS

My research interests include urban transportation, the interaction between cities and new technologies (such as shared bike and scooters), and how infrastructure for biking, walking, and transit are distributed across space. I pursue these topics through a range of methods, including the use of GIS, satellite imagery, and on-the-ground observations.

Research Spotlight

Treating COVID with Bike Lanes: Design, Spatial, and Network Analysis of ‘Pop-Up’ Bike Lanes in Paris

People biking in paris around the Arc de Triomphe

Many cities responded to the COVID-19 pandemic by erecting new bike lanes (Kraus and Koch 2021), but there has been little scrutiny of where these lanes are being installed, how they relate to pre-COVID networks, what street uses they replaced, and their design characteristics (such as their level of physical protection and bi-directionality).
