University of California, Davis
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the 3 Revolutions Future Mobility (3RFM) program of the Institute of Transportation Studies at the University of California, Davis. My work centers on the intersections of sustainable transportation, emerging technologies, and urban planning, with a strong focus on social equity. I explore how information and communication technology, shared mobility, and vehicle automation reshape travel behavior, residential choices, and urban development. Committed to equity, I aim to develop data-driven solutions that address the transportation challenges of disadvantaged communities.
