Dr. Ye is a professor in Department of Traffic Engineering, School of Transportation Engineering of Tongji University. Prior to joining Tongji as a full-time professor, he taught at Civil Engineering Department of Cal Poly Pomona as a tenure-track Assistant Professor. Dr. Ye is an expert in travel demand modeling with extensive experience in travel behavior analysis, activity-based travel modeling and forecasting, and econometric and statistical modeling of activity-travel behavior. He served as major investigator in many research projects regarding travel demand model development and application, funded by the Federal Highway Administration, U.S. Department of Transportation, Maryland Department of Transportation, Baltimore Metropolitan Council, Maricopa Association of Governments, etc. His research has been extensively published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at major transportation conferences. At present, he is serving as a member of the committee on Traveler Behavior and Values (ADB10) of Transportation Research Board; a member on Editorial Board of Open Journal of Safety Science and Technology (OJSST), a paper referee for several transportation journals such as Transportation Research, Transportation, Transportation Research Record, etc.
