Academic Interests

Data Science & Systems
Data Quality
Spatio-Temporal Data
Intelligent Transportation Systems
Applications of Data Science to Intelligent Transportation Systems

My research spans the very applied, with development of mission-critical, production intelligent transportation systems, and theoretical, with the investigation and development of data science methods to solve challenges such as spatio-temporal data quality. My labs have conducted research in systems and software engineering to develop cutting-edge applications, applied data science and developed algorithms and methodologies to address challenges faced by the practitioners who use our many applications. We have also investigated the application of data science methods to estimate long-distance travel times during winter, and the development of measures to evaluate dimension reduction techniques relative to data science tasks such as the classification of roadside camera images.
