My research is focused on data and methods that prioritize user-centered outcomes in transport engineering and urban planning. I am motivated by a desire to better understand transportation system users, and aim to achieve this through improved measurement of behavior and performance. Broadly my research expertise and interests center around: user-centered data stream integration and utilization, transportation survey design and analysis, behavioral modeling, psychometrics, and human factors engineering. I am also passionate about educational outreach and mentorship.
