Research
His research interest involves railway systems, which include signalling, electrical traction power and traffic management systems. His ambition is to create a multidisciplinary Railway Research Centre at City University London. He already has several final year undergraduate students working in this area, where they are designing automatic signalling systems, efficient traction motor control systems, railway traffic management systems and hydrogen fuel cell powered locomotives - all of which are based at present on model trains and tracks. He hopes that one day this small scale group will develop into the real thing.
