Research Focus

I specialize in transportation systems analysis and planning with research emphases on sustainable transportation and macroscopic traffic flow. My early career (12 years) was primarily in engineering consulting and research. I have been engaged in teaching and academic research since 2000. My expertise includes modeling of transportation systems encompassing travel behavior analysis, travel demand modeling, traffic simulation, network analysis, and intelligent transportation systems. My current and prior works covered a range of topics on transportation planning, air quality, transit-oriented developments, shared mobility, and urban freight planning. My research on air quality received national acclaim and was recognized by the National Academy of Sciences with the prestigious Pyke Johnson Award. I was elected a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers and am a registered professional engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I served (2019-2020) as a Faculty Fellow at the Office of the Secretary of Transportation (OST) in the US Department of Transportation (USDOT).
