Biography
Dr Jason Chia joined QUT as an associate lecturer in Property Economics 2017 and is currently a lecturer in Property Economics. Prior to this, Dr Jason was involved in QUT as sessional academics since 2014, while completing his PhD. He developed a more accurate tool to support transit agencies and transport planners to more accurately assess the spatial coverage of the existing transit systems, to improve the effectiveness, and to support planning and designing of new transit services and routes.Dr Jason is a fellow if higher education academy (FHEA), who met the appropriate standards in teaching and supporting learning in higher education, under the UK Professional Standards Framework (UKPSF). Dr Jason holds the following qualifications:
- Doctor of Philosophy, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, 2017
- Bachelor of Urban Development (Quantity Surveying) First Class Honours, Queensland University of Technology, Australia, 2012
Research Interest:
Dr Jason’s research interest is in urban planning and development while incorporating the concept of transportation accessibility. He is also passionate about housing economics and senior living research. Jason has demonstrated excellent proficiency in spatial analysis (i.e., ArcGIS) and choice modelling.
Grants:
Dr Jason was involved in the following research projects.
Investigator - Profile Queensland Building Sector Attributable Emissions and Abatement Pathways (2018 - 2019)
A joint effort between Strategy. Policy. Research (SPR) and Queensland University of Technology (QUT) to deliver a clear, evidence-based assessment and projection of Queensland’s building sector in meeting a net zero emissions economy by 2050. This project is delivered for the Queensland Department of Environment and Science.
Researcher – Land Use & Public Transport Accessibility Index (LUPTAI) Model and Software Development (2017)
Commissioned by Queensland Transport and Main Roads (TMR) to conduct a technical review of the LUPTAI model. I challenged the key methodology of LUPTAI, which uses Monte Carlo simulation trials, and the derivation of the travel impediment, trip purpose weighting and exclusion probability.
