About me

I am currently a Ph.D student at the Autonomous and Connected Transportation lab in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology (Gatech) under the supervision of Prof. Srinivas Peeta. Prior to this, I received my bachelor’s degree in traffic engineering from Southeast University (SEU) and my master’s degree in transportation from the National University of Singapore (NUS) under the supervision of Dr. Kaidi Yang. My research interest lies in developing methods for steady transitions toward next-generation transportation systems, with a particular focus on enhancing system safety and reliability. In the future, I’m glad to talk about any interesting ideas and potential collaborations.
