His empirical work has covered urban, energy and mobility transition processes in Europe, Asia and Australia. In 2012 Rob co-founded the global Sustainability Transitions Research Network and won the EASST Chris Freeman award for a significant collective contribution to the interaction of science and technology studies with the study of innovation. In 2019 and 2020 he was selected into the Lifetime Achievement Leaderboard of The Australian – Australia's top 40 researchers – and 1 of 5 top-performing Australian social scientists.
