I am currently an associate professor with a focus on emergency transportation planning and management in department of traffic engineering in Tongji University. My general research interests concern transportation emergency planning and operations by integrating emerging data sources with computing technologies and mathematical tools. In this vein, I am interested in both enhancing current state-of-practice evacuation planning tools and analyzing empirical transportation system behavior under emergency conditions.
