About me
I am a PhD Candidate at the Northwestern University's Transportation Systems Analysis and Planning Program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. I am currently working at the Transportation Center as a graduate research assistant. I am interested and have strong skills in analyzing data, building machine learning and econometric models and using these to understand and solve transportation problems.
Research Interests
Areas I am deeply interested in and have worked in the past:
Travel demand forecasting and travel behavior analysis
Discrete choice modeling and other applied econometrics methods
Social network analysis
Transportation application of machine learning
Crash data analysis
Analysis of passive data sources (like GPS data) for transportation planning purposes
