Sean is a member of the Behavioural Choice Group at ITLS, specialising in research on information processing, group decision making and advances in non-market valuation techniques. Sean works closely with Professor David Hensher and Dr John Rose on transport policy issues including road user charging relating to traffic congestion and vehicle emissions. Sean also collaborates with Dr Stephen Greaves on a project supported by an Australian Research Council grant investigating the potential impacts of freight transport policies. In 2009 Sean will teach Transport Modes and Systems, a new core unit for Master of Transport Management students. He will also teach modules in Transport and Logistics Economics covering issues in road pricing. Sean will also serve as the Postgraduate Coordinator and Advisor for Transport in 2009. Sean completed his doctoral research at ITLS, where he studied the potential impacts of road user charging on interdependent freight stakeholders. His research produced a new econometric framework for studying group choice behaviour utilising stated preference data, and also contributed new evidence demonstrating the risk and scope of misspecification bias when ignoring the effects of information processing when analysing stated preference data. Sean received the 2006 Eric Pas Dissertation Prize from the International Association for Travel Behaviour Research for his doctoral thesis. His research has also been published in several top transport journals, including Transportation Research Parts A, B and E and Transportation.
