Overview

Alan Peters was affiliated with Boston University in the United States. Their research primarily focused on Environmental Science, with particular emphasis on topics such as Urban Heat Island Mitigation, Urban Green Space and Health, Land Use and Ecosystem Services, Software Reliability and Analysis Research, Software Engineering Techniques and Practices, and Safety Systems Engineering in Autonomy.

Their work spanned several subfields including Environmental Engineering, Health, Toxicology and Mutagenesis, Global and Planetary Change, Software, and Information Systems. Peters published articles in various academic venues including Landscape and Urban Planning, Energy and Buildings, International Journal of Smart Vehicles and Smart Transportation, and Urban Policy and Research.

Among their recent publications were:

  • Quantifying the seasonal cooling capacity of 'green infrastructure types' (GITs): An approach to assess and mitigate surface urban heat island in Sydney, Australia, 2020, Landscape and Urban Planning
  • Innovative use of spatial regression models to predict the effects of green infrastructure on land surface temperatures, 2021, Energy and Buildings
  • An Agile Approach for Lifecycle Integration in Personal Rapid Transit Systems Engineering, 2023, International Journal of Smart Vehicles and Smart Transportation
  • Designing the Global City, Design Excellence Competitions and the Remaking of Central Sydney, 2020, Urban Policy and Research

Peters frequently collaborated with other researchers such as Carlos Bartesaghi-Koc, Paul Osmond, Nicholas Davenport, Theo Tryfonas, and Stylianos Karatzas.
