Michael Kuby is Emeritus Professor of geographical sciences and urban planning at Arizona State University, where he has taught from 1988 to 2024. He specializes in transportation, energy, optimal facility location and network design models, and alternative fuels, stations, vehicles, and drivers. His research has been funded by the National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Energy, World Bank, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and NASA. He is lead author of the interactive textbook, "Human Geography in Action," published by John Wiley & Sons, and co-editor of the 2009 and 2015 "Arizona Town Hall background reports on Transportation." Kuby was a lead author the Transportation chapter in the National Climate Assessment (2014). He serves on the editorial boards of the Journal of Transport Geography and the International Regional Science Review.
Recently papers have been published in the International Journal of Hydrogen Energy, Journal of Transport Geography, Transportation Research Part C (Emerging Technologies) and D (Transport and the Environment), European Journal of Operational Research, Energy Policy, and Environment & Planning B (Planning and Design).
- Ph.D. Geography, Boston University 1988
- B.A. Geography, University of Chicago 1980
I develop new models and decision support tools for sustainable energy and transport systems, such as for optimal facility location and network design. Recent work has focused on optimal networks of alternative-fuel station for hydrogen, CNG, LNG, and fast EV charging, optimal pipeline networks for carbon capture and storage, and optimal voting precinct design. I am also developing collaborative "geodesign" tools for use in stakeholder workshops.
In addition to developing spatial optimization and geodesign models, he also studies empirical data and conducts survey research on energy, transportation, sustainability, and economic geography using statistics and GIS. Recent studies include spatial refueling patterns of CNG, hydrogen, and gasoline drivers in Los Angeles (funded by NSF), coal use and CO2 emissions in China, and retail geography in the U.S. (with PhD student Larry Joseph). Rail transit has been another research direction, including the economic benefit of rail on property values (with Aaron Golub, Deborah Salon, and Kihwan Seo), predicting light-rail ridership, and understanding the effects of climate and weather on rail transit.
