Hao Wu is a Research Associate in the City Futures Research Centre, the University of New South Wales. Prior to joining the UNSW team, he completed his PhD degree in 2021 with the University of Sydney on the subject of Ensemble Forecasting. He studied transportation engineering and graduated with a M.S. degree in Civil Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2017. Hao's research focuses on accessibility, and the related transport, land-use and mode choice issues; his recent research interest is in the application of machine learning and ensemble forecasting in transport and planning problems. He authored Access Across Australia and Access Across New Zealand reports, and is a coauthor of the Transport Access Manual.
