I am a postdoctoral research associate at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Transportation Analytics & Decision Sciences Group. I received my Ph.D. in Civil Engineering with an emphasis in Transportation from the University of Arizona under the advisement of Dr. Alyssa Ryan.
My main area of interest is travel demand modeling, energy justice, and cross-sector energy simulation. I hope that my research will shed light on how mobility services and transportation policies improve sustainability, equity, and system efficiency for all people.
