Marcus Young

Research Fellow in Geospatial Software Engineering for Transport Systems at the University of Southampton's Transportation Research Group.

My work sits at the intersection of transport planning, spatial data, and open-source tooling — building R packages, Shiny applications, and analysis pipelines that make transport data more accessible and useful. I care about making analysis reproducible and — where possible — actually useful to the people making decisions.

When I'm not doing that, I'm revisiting my interest in 8-bit computing — from writing BASIC programs on a ZX81 in 1982 to learning Z80 assembly on a Spectrum Next today, via a detour through breadboard CPUs. I write about it at Back to BASIC.

Current focus

Life cycle cost analysis and whole-system optimisation modelling for railway noise and vibration interventions, as part of the EU Horizon QuieterRail project.
