About Dr Babra Duri
Dr Babra Duri is a Senior Researcher and Lecturer who holds a PhD in Transport Economics. Her research focuses on transport and social equity in both urban and rural settings, particularly emphasising vulnerable groups such as people with disabilities, learners, and women. A significant part of her work examines the decarbonisation of urban transport, exploring how low-carbon mobility transitions can support social equity and improve access for underserved communities. Before embarking on her academic and research career, Dr Duri worked as an auto electrician, which provided her with hands-on technical experience in vehicle systems and maintenance. This unique combination of technical and academic expertise enables her to approach transport challenges from both practical and theoretical perspectives. Passionate about community-centred research, Dr Duri works closely with communities to understand and document the lived experiences of mobility. While her primary role is research, she also teaches postgraduate transport and logistics modules on a part-time basis.
