Thomas Hamori
I am a postdoc at Argonne National Lab in the Computer Modeling and Analytics group. Together we build, service, and maintain high-fidelity transportation modeling systems for the Department of Energy.
My research interests more broadly lie in the mathematical analysis and simulation of transportation systems, especially for traffic flow. I'm particularly interested in the overlap between these systems and the analytical study of hyperbolic conservation laws with nonlocal effects, which can be interpreted in the context of traffic flow as the effect of nonlocal information (e.g. Google Maps) on driver decisions.
Education
Ph.D. in Mathematics, University of South Carolina
August 2019 - May 2024
I completed my Ph.D. in Mathematics at the University of South Carolina. My advisor was Dr. Changhui Tan. During my time at USC I was supported by the DASIV center and RTG grant. I co-founded and organized the ACM Student Seminar. My thesis concerned the well-posedness of hyperbolic conservation laws arising from traffic flow.
B.S. in Mathematics, Purdue University
August 2013 - May 2018
I completed my undergraduate degree in mathematics at Purdue University. I also earned a minor in philosophy. I was involved in several organizations, including residence life, where I worked as an RA and later in a supervisory role for a team of RA's. I was also involved in the Social Cognition of Social Justice psychology lab headed by Dr. Erin Hennes. I contributed to a publication regarding misinformation and system-justification.
