“I had a very memorable time working with Joshua, opening up his enormous talents and outstanding potential, which has resulted in a delivery of a joint chapter we have developed within World Water Development Report 2016 on Asia-Pacific perspectives of "Water and Jobs". Throughout our collaboration, in my role of his direct supervisor, I witnessed new skills and competences Joshua have developed quickly, which is now giving him a strong competence on ‘water jobs’ moving trend towards more efficient and sustainable water systems that generate new employment opportunities, with a focus on the provision of water services to different sectors. Joshua was also engaged in other projects, collaborated with ILO and conceptualised new topics for research and perspective of knowledge based projects. Wishing Joshua good luck in his future endeavours from my heart! ”

Innovation cognizance and acceptance: The case of electric vehicles adoption in Ontario, Canada
Journal of Innovation Management
This study examines the results of a survey of 1,000 Canadian internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle owners to assess factors that would encourage them to purchase an electric vehicle (EV). Further to the work of Peters and Dutschke (2014) and (Matthews et al. (2017) we combine the various drivers of EV adoption, independently identified in the literature, into one model in order to investigate their influence on the intent to purchase an EV. Through correlations and a series of probit…
This study examines the results of a survey of 1,000 Canadian internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle owners to assess factors that would encourage them to purchase an electric vehicle (EV). Further to the work of Peters and Dutschke (2014) and (Matthews et al. (2017) we combine the various drivers of EV adoption, independently identified in the literature, into one model in order to investigate their influence on the intent to purchase an EV. Through correlations and a series of probit regression modelling, we provide evidence to support additional policies that could establish greater relative advantages for owning an EV. These include the promotion of the communication of those advantages through experiential awareness initiatives such as improved access to EV test drives and consumer information. We suggest that car dealerships are important partners in this journey and their association is critical for greater diffusion of EVs in the market. Our findings have implications for EV manufacturers and government policy makers.

Shifting gears on sustainable transport transitions: Stakeholder perspectives on e-bikes in Toronto, Canada
Environmental Innovation and Societal Transitions
Car-centric transportation systems are widely regarded as unsustainable. E-bikes are an emerging technology with potential to strengthen sustainability transitions. Little is known about the role of governance stakeholders in shaping e-bike technology uptake/rejection. This qualitative study draws upon theories of socio-technical transitions, disruptive technology and strategic niche management to interrogate transportation governance stakeholders’ perceptions towards e-bikes and related…
Car-centric transportation systems are widely regarded as unsustainable. E-bikes are an emerging technology with potential to strengthen sustainability transitions. Little is known about the role of governance stakeholders in shaping e-bike technology uptake/rejection. This qualitative study draws upon theories of socio-technical transitions, disruptive technology and strategic niche management to interrogate transportation governance stakeholders’ perceptions towards e-bikes and related prospects or barriers to enhancing sustainability in Canada’s most populated, congested city. E-bikes possess niche benefits that help encourage socio-technical shift away from cars. Yet their greatest potential in strengthening transition pathways may be their ability to enhance seamless, multi-modal transportation through incorporation into transit hubs and shared mobility systems. E-bikes also pose negative disruptions that undermine their uptake. The range of models on the market warrant greater regulatory distinction according to unique characteristics and hazards. E-bike governance requires further coordination, and decision-makers need more data on usage patterns and modal displacement.
