Maged Shoman, Ph.D, Research Assistant Professor in Intelligent Transportation Systems with the University of Tennessee – Oak Ridge Innovation Institute (UT-ORII).

Dr. Shoman earned his Ph.D. from the University of Missouri in 2022. His dissertation, "Interactive, Multi-Purpose Traffic Prediction Platform Using Connected Vehicles Data," serves as a platform for transportation planners to understand data through visual analysis, predict the future of traffic flow and speech query bottlenecks. He also holds an M.Sc. in Transportation Engineering from the Technical University of Munich (2019), where his thesis explored the impact of Transportation Network Companies (TNC) services on urban mobility. He completed his B.Sc. in Civil and Environmental Engineering at the American University of Sharjah (2015), with a minor in Engineering Management.

Dr. Shoman’s research has been supported by various funding agencies, including the National Science Foundation (NSF), the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), as well as state DOTs and municipalities. He has published over 10 peer-reviewed papers in prestigious journals and conferences, including IEEE CVPR, ASCE Journal of Transportation Engineering, and the Transportation Research Record. His notable work includes advancements in traffic prediction, low-light image enhancement, and deep learning-based anomaly detection. He has received numerous accolades, including placements in the NVIDIA AI City Challenge and the 2021 Outstanding PhD Student Award.

His technical expertise span at the intersection of Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Transportation and Traffic Safety Research. Dr. Shoman has led several high-impact research projects, supervised multiple Ph.D. and Master's students, and contributed to grant-funded initiatives focused on enhancing transportation safety through advanced analytics and AI-driven solutions.

Dr. Shoman has been actively involved in professional organizations, serving in leadership roles in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE). He is also a dedicated reviewer for top journals, including IEEE CVPR, ASCE Journal of Transportation Engineering, Part A: Systems, Transportation Research Record, IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITSC).
