Who am I?

I am a postdoc doing research in Electric Vehicles (EVs). Particularly, I am interested in understanding the effects of EVs on travel behavior, traffic safety, road capacity, energy consumption, etc. I rely on statistical techniques, machine learning algorithms, and simulation to model and study the EVs’ effects.

I have a PhD in Civil Engineering with a focus on smart cities from University of Illinois Chicago. I was advised by Dr. Sybil Derrible, Director of the Complex and Sustainable Urban Networks Laboratory at UIC. During my PhD, I developed a machine learning based decision support framework called urban intelligence to help policymakers in developing smart sustainable policies. Apart from my research, I like to learn new techniques. This blog will be a home for some of my analyses and projects.
