CurrentUC Berkeley Engineering Institute of Transportation Studies, Mobile Sensing Lab under advisors Professor Alexandre Bayen, Director of the Institute of Transportation Studies at UC Berkeley and Assistant Professor Mostafa Ameli, Université Gustave EiffelCIRCLES: As a member of the CIRCLES research consortium, model traffic flow of I-24 in Tennessee to study the influence of integrating autonomous vehicles into traffic patterns. Modeling with Simulation of Urban MObility (SUMO) traffic simulation package. Developing custom traffic simulation modeling software in Python.Researcher on real-time traffic experiment, combining vehicle sensing, control, and communication technologies to affect traffic flow using semi-autonomous vehicles on a portion of the highway in Nashville, Tennessee, known as the I-24 MOTION testbed. FREMONT PROJECT: Used microsimulator to accurately model and reproduce traffic patterns in Fremont, CA to study the influence of routing apps on traffic. Working in the modeling software Advanced Interactive Microscopic Simulator for Urban and Non-urban Networks (AIMSUN), ran simulations to identify and resolve problems and add improvements to the model. Made and analyzed videos of simulations and presented weekly to group. Some python coding.
