Social marketing is his primary area of interest and his research focuses on bringing a better understanding of commuter behavior to travel demand management and in engaging a greater role for social marketing in persuading commuters to consider alternative modes of transport. More recently, he has focused in examining the public's perception of assessing carbon emissions in the form of their carbon footprint. Specifically he wishes to investigate how consumers can relate to their carbon footprint as a means of informing themselves more about global warming concerns.
