I am an transportation planner and traffic engineer, who is passionate about making our cities and regions resilient for, despite, and against extreme events and disruptive technologies. I work at the intersect of transport technology and human behavior. I have been granted over €5 million and US$1.7 million as the lead-PI including the most prestigious grants in the US (National Science Foundation) and in Europe (ERC Consolidator). I have published three books and over sixty articles in peer-reviewed Q1 journals in service of that goal. As a Gilded Lilly Fellow (an award to pursue excellence in teaching), I am a passionate educator contributing to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, innovating my classroom through grants, and developing learning outcomes assessments for accrediting bodies.
