Teaching Interests
My primary teaching responsibility is teaching courses in Transportation. In this role, I have taught primarily graduate level courses including TRAN 615/CE 660 (Traffic Studies and Capacity), as well as TRAN 752 (Traffic Control). These courses comprise two of the three core course requirements for students focusing in the area of transportation engineering. The courses are designed to expose students to principal methodologies used by transportation engineers performing transportation operation analyses. At the undergraduate level I have taught Transportation Engineering and Geometric Design.
