Research Alumni

Dr. Lovegrove has trained and graduated the following highly qualified personnel with the help of industry and NSERC Discovery Grant funding:

  • Dr. Abdul Rahman Masoud, MASc, EIT, PhD (2022) in Civil Engineering, specializes in Travel Demand Modelling at the lab. Abdul started his work with Dr. Lovegrove as a MASc student, providing leadership and direction in conducting a nationwide study, funded by Health Canada, to investigate key factors affecting active transportation in Canadian cities. For his PhD, Abdul developed a novel agent-based travel behaviour modelling framework to provide a comprehensive evaluation of the influence of neighbourhood design on travel behaviour,and drafted the first SMARTer Growth best practice guide for civil engineers and community planners.
  • Vipul Gar, MAS. worked on the Integrated High-Level Safety Planning (IHSPM) model, a proactive approach to road safety planning. The objective of his masters is to finalize and to refine the web-based application based on macro-level collision prediction models (CPM) to automates the planning process.
  • Dr. Craig Hostland, P.Eng., MBA, PhD (2016), in sustainable living environments, focusing on measuring, modeling, and predicting the mould-induced health impacts of residential indoor air quality (co-supervised with Dr. Roberts).
  • Ellen Morrison, EIT, MASc (2015), researched a Community U-Pass program for Kelowna residents in the Glenmore neighbourhood, a ComPASS. It promotes sustainable transportation, and includes a Community Revenue Neutral funding model whereby local transit and merchants are patronized, and local residents’ see their auto-alternative transport choices enhanced. She has already been hired by Opus/Dayton Knight consultants for her expertise in Active Transportation (click here to read more).
