My research focuses on cyber-physical intelligence for transportation, emergency response, and civil infrastructure systems. I am interested in developing systems that can sense real-world conditions, infer system states, simulate possible futures, and support timely decisions and actions. The overarching goal is to improve the safety, resilience, efficiency, and sustainability of infrastructure systems through integrated sensing, computation, optimization, and decision support.

Cyber-Physical Transportation Systems

Traffic data extraction from images, traffic monitoring, traffic safety, conflict analytics, connected infrastructure, adaptive transportation operations, critical infrastructure assessment, and emission analytics of traffic-related air pollution (TRAP).

Smart Infrastructure and Construction Informatics

Construction informatics, Building Information Modeling (BIM), worker and equipment tracking, indoor pedestrian flow analysis from image data, infrastructure monitoring, computer vision applications in built environments, and data-driven decision support for construction and infrastructure operations.

Emergency Response and Lifesaving Operations

Disaster management, emergency medical services, spatial-temporal demand modeling of emergency medical systems (EMS), 911 call analysis, EMS vehicle dispatch, AED location decision and analysis, resource allocation, and decision support for time-critical lifesaving operations.

Embedded Sensing, Edge Intelligence, and IoT

IoT sensing, embedded systems, edge data acquisition, real-time monitoring, cyber-physical system integration, and human-in-the-loop interfaces for transportation, emergency response, construction, and infrastructure applications.

Infrastructure Safety, Resilience, and Sustainability

Data-driven analysis and decision support for safer, more resilient, and more sustainable infrastructure systems, including transportation safety, emergency preparedness, infrastructure risk assessment, environmental impacts, and operational resilience.

My research integrates sensing, modeling, optimization, and decision support for complex civil infrastructure systems. Rather than treating computational methods as isolated tools, my work emphasizes end-to-end system integration: from data acquisition and perception, to state estimation and prediction, to simulation, optimization, and operational decision-making.

Sensing and Perception

Computer vision, image processing, IoT sensing, embedded systems, edge data acquisition, real-time monitoring, and sensor-based infrastructure observation.

State Estimation and Pattern Recognition

Machine learning, pattern recognition, spatial-temporal analysis, anomaly detection, demand modeling, traffic-state inference, and emergency-system state characterization.

Simulation and Prediction

Traffic simulation, emergency response simulation, infrastructure-system modeling, scenario analysis, predictive analytics, and digital-twin-inspired modeling for infrastructure operations.

Optimization and Decision Intelligence

Mathematical programming, combinatorial optimization, algorithms, routing, dispatching, facility location, resource allocation, scheduling, and adaptive decision support.

Cyber-Physical System Integration

Integration of sensors, embedded devices, edge intelligence, computational models, optimization algorithms, and human-in-the-loop interfaces to support infrastructure systems that can sense, reason, and act.
