Personal Statement

In my opinion, good transportation engineering research should benefit the users’ interests, should be tangible and meaningful to decision-makers and practitioners who can execute and implement the outcomes, and should have a profound and far-reaching impact on the transportation system. I am especially interested in improving highway safety and mobility, mitigating congestion and facilitating scientific decision-making using innovative traffic models, advanced statistical methodologies, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and Geographic Information System (GIS).
