Educational History

Aug 2015 - Aug 2020

Ph.D., University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA

Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering with emphasis on Transportation Systems. The contributions of my dissertation are threefold: (1) it provided the first comprehensive performance analysis of the US state-of-the-art travel time reliability (TTR) methodology (in the current and 6th edition of the Highway Capacity Manual), (2) it developed a methodology for calibrating TTR methodologies, including that used in the HCM6, and (3) it developed a new TTR methodology that addresses the limitations of the HCM6 TTR methodology. These, I believe are needed for accurate traveler information to save time, money, and the environment.
