I am broadly interested in developing and applying mathematical models that represent, analyze, and predict how stakeholders behave and make decisions, particularly in transportation, logistics, and supply chain planning, engineering, and management. The research aims to solve emerging challenges in order to build smart, livable, sustainable, and resilient communities.
