I model transportation systems to improve transit mobility, traffic operations, and traveler outcomes.

What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a full-time role where I can apply traffic simulation, statistical modeling, and data-driven operations expertise to advance transportation systems and solve real-world operational challenges.

I'm advancing transportation systems through traffic simulation, statistical modeling, and data-driven operations research. As a Graduate Research Assistant at FIU's Lehman Center for Transportation Research, I evaluate how TSM&O strategies affect traveler behavior and network performance.

I've built microscopic simulation models for Miami's South Dade TransitWay, quantifying the mobility benefits and operational trade-offs of signal preemption and transit signal priority on US-1. I have also assessed connected-vehicle technologies in Key West and EV fast-charging station alternatives using the Florida Statewide Model.

My earlier research at Chulalongkorn University's Transportation Institute examined mobility and happiness among older adults, ride-hailing adoption, and public-transit behavior changes during COVID-19 in Bangkok. That work included surveys of more than 300 older adults and 1,000 ride-hailing respondents.

I'm a Ph.D. candidate in Transportation Engineering and an FE Certified researcher who uses PTV Vissim, CORSIM, Synchro, CUBE, Python, RStudio, ArcGIS, and QGIS to translate complex mobility data into practical transportation solutions.
