Hi 👋🏻 I am a PhD student working with Dr. Jorge Laval in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology 🐝.
Under the specific focus on Traffic-Flow, my research interests include Complex System, Self-Driving, ACC, Car-following, and MFD. Most recently, I have been working on the critical phenomena of traffic flow and its control using reinforcement learning.
[Jan 2025] I presented my paper at TRBAM 2025 and got an Excellent Presentation Award from KOTAA
[Sep 2024] I presented my paper at TRC-30 Conference
[May 2024] I continue to serve as a Social Outreach Officer at ITE Georgia Tech Student Chapter!
[Feb 2024] I was selected as a recipient of the 2024 CEE Future Faculty Fellowship
[Jan 2024] I was selected as a recipient of the 2024 Babs Abubakari Memorial Scholarship
[Sep 2023] The paper "A Global Search Problem on the Calibration of Two-regime Stochastic Car-following Model" was presented at the 26th IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Transportation Systems ITSC 2023
