About Me

I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Villanova University. I teach transportation engineering and planning, and lead research aimed at understanding the fundamentals of human mobility and transportation systems—focusing on traveler behavior, mobility patterns, safety, health impacts, and transportation economics.

My work lies at the intersection of engineering, data science, and public policy. You can learn more through the sections on research, teaching, and current opportunities on this website.
