PROFILE:
My substantive research and teaching interests generally lie in transportation planning and policy, especially as it relates to environmentally sustainable transportation systems and development patterns. I have a particular interest in analyzing the relationship between transportation and land use. Therefore, I have also developed a secondary research interest in urban economics and land development.

My research agenda has recently focused on two interrelated topics: (1) the effect of transportation systems (of varying modes and sizes) on land/economic development, (2) the effect urban form has on travel behavior.

Through my academic training and professional experience, I have gained proficiency in a variety of quantitative research methods. I have worked full time as a GIS analyst and travel demand modeler, taught GIS and travel modeling courses, and applied various statistical methods in academic research.
