About Me

Earning Ph.D. in the Civil & Environmental Engineering department at Northwestern University, I am proceeding my career as a transportation and traffic engineer. My focus is on the side of both academia and industry, trying to bridge the gap between research and real-world applications. My research interests include public transport, mobility-as-a-service (MaaS), traffic design and management, and urban transport planning. Treating research as a pivotal tool to tackle real-world problems, I aim to relieve traffic congestion during rush hours and help private transport coporations (e.g. mobility service providers, MSP) gain more profits while providing mobility service. I received my bachelor degree (cum laude) from Southeast University and completed a non-degree program at University of California, Berkeley.
