A Bit About Me
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the 3 Revolutions Future Mobility (3RFM) program of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis. My research centers around travel behavior, land-use planning, emerging technologies, transportation and health, and urban data analytics. I continuously collaborate with scholars from various fields, such as Civil Engineering, Urban Planning, Geography, Construction Management, Social Work, and Psychology, on the associations between the built environment, transportation planning, the adoption of emerging mobility technologies, and physical/mental health.
Research Areas
Transportation Planning
Designing efficient, sustainable, and accessible transportation systems to meet current and future mobility needs.
Emerging Technologies
Exploring innovations like autonomous vehicles, micromobility, and telework to shape the future of urban mobility.
Land-Use Planning
Coordinating the development of land and infrastructure to support sustainable, connected, and livable communities.
Transportation & Health
Examining how transportation systems impact public health, safety, and well-being.
