About me
I am a fourth-year PhD student at The University of Alabama supervised by Dr. Jun Liu. Before I joined UA, I received my Master of Science degree in Transportation Engineering at the University of Florida in May 2021, supervised by Dr. Xilei Zhao. I also obtained my bachelor's degree in Transportation from Dalian Maritime University in June 2019.
