Graduate Research Assistant Aug 2016 – Present

Transportation Econometric Modeling Group (TEMG), Department of Civil, Environmental and Construction Engineering, University of Central Florida

• Advanced Econometric Models for Modeling Flows: Application to Shared Economy (Ph.D. Dissertation)

Shared mobility e.g. bikeshare and ride hailing demand and network flow distribution modeling

Travel demand forecasting

Exercised policy analysis which illustrates the applicability of the proposed models

Advanced data preparation, big data analysis and data processing

• Accommodating Exogenous Variable and Decision Rule Heterogeneity in Discrete Choice Models: Application to Bicyclist Route Choice (MS Thesis)

Analyzed the influence of air pollution on route choice decision using data from online SP survey

Investigate time-based trade-offs (Value of Travel Time) across cyclists of different classes

• Evaluating Community Building Effectiveness of Transportation Investments: Using Traditional and Big Data Oriented Analytical Approaches (FDOT Funded Project)

Examining the community impacts of three transportation infrastructure investment projects (SunRail, I-4 expansion, and JUICE Orlando bikeshare system) in Central Florida region by analyzing various Measures of Effectiveness (MOE) such as property value change, job accessibility change, land use pattern changes etc.

These indicators/measures were developed by collating appropriate data collected from different sources using the ArcGIS, SPSS and RStudio platform.

• A Pragmatic Multi-Objective Planning Approach for Medium and Long-Range Projects (FDOT Funded Project)

Working on developing a practical model framework that can be employed to conduct periodic planning forecast evaluations for medium to large projects.

Prepare updated attributes for advanced forecasting framework by using ArcGIS, SPSS and RStudio.

• Freight Data Fusion from Multiple Data Sources for Freight Planning Applications in Florida (FDOT Funded Project)

As a team member of this project, prepared and collected data to augment Freight Analysis Framework 4 (FAF4) dataset using SPSS and ArcGIS.

• Quantification of Impacts and Benefits of Future Transportation Plans (Course Projects)

Prepared the data and modeled mode choice for different trip purposes using 2008 O-D travel survey data of Greater Montreal, Canada

Performed traffic assignment in VISUM by estimating travel time matrix

• Assessed Gemini Blvd-Libra Drive Network Performance (Course Projects)

Collect real time traffic operation and volume data at Gemini Blvd.-Libra Drive intersection to analyze the existing condition and a comparative analysis was performed against the signal timings.

Phase signal optimization and cycle signal optimization process using HCS software in order to improve the delay and LOS. PROFESSIONAL SKILLS
