Research Assistant Professor, Glenn Department of Civil Engineering, Clemson University
Assistant Director, Center for Connected Multimodal Mobility
From May 2021, I am working as a Research Assistant Professor at the Civil Engineering Department at Clemson University. I am also appointed as the Assistant Director of Center for Connected Multimodal Mobility (C2M2), a United States Department of Transportation Tier 1 University Transportation Center. As an assistant director of C2M2, my key roles include: 1) conducting foundational research projects at C2M2, 2) coordinating C2M2 Quantum Lab, 3) mentoring both graduate and undergraduate students with a multidisciplinary background, 4) coordinating and leading the grant proposal writing activities, 5) leading activities related to knowledge and technology transfer, industry collaboration, and diversity and inclusion, and 6) overviewing center's budget. Before joining C2M2, I was a post-doctoral research scholar working at California Partners for Advanced Transportation Technology (PATH) at the University of California, Berkeley from October 2019. I worked on two PATH projects, which are: (1) Hybrid Data, and (2) Connected Corridors.
So far, in 2021 alone, I have submitted several successful proposals as a co-PI (National Science Foundation, U.S. Department of Energy, Center for Connected Multimodal Mobility or C2M2) and as a collaborator (U.S. Department of Education).
