Profile

I have a Bachelor’s in Civil Engineering, a Master’s in Transportation Engineering, and a PhD in Civil Engineering, with specialisation in Transportation Engineering. My PhD thesis focuses on investigating the effects of a novel connected vehicular environment on lane-changing decision-making behaviour.

I have worked as a research associate at the Institute of Transport and Logistic Studies, University of Sydney, and a research fellow at the Queensland University of Technology. My current research focuses on joint modelling of traffic flow and traffic safety.
