Transform Heterogeneous Data Into Predictive Insight

to Reveal the Dynamics of Complex Systems and Support Better Decisions Under Risk

I am a data scientist and transportation system modeler with a PhD in Engineering Science (Mobility and Industrial Management) and more than a decade of experience.  My work sits at the intersection of data science, statistical modeling, and machine learning, with a strong emphasis on understanding, modeling, and improving complex systems using real-world data, primarily in the context of transportation systems modeling and analysis, and  directly applicable to any complex and multi-agent system

 

 

I always pursued a central goal in my contributions to projects: turning complex, noisy data into reliable insights that help experts understand systems and provide foresight for better decision-making. 

My expertise spans large-scale data fusion and advanced data science methodologies, including machine and deep learning, Bayesian inference, time-series and state-space modeling, and optimization, combined with traffic flow theory, driving behavior analysis, safety, and risk modeling. I have designed end-to-end analytical pipelines that integrate heterogeneous data sources, ranging from vehicle trajectories, road sensors (loop detectors), LiDAR data,  and video streams to survey and textual data, to extract actionable insights for complex real-world systems such as traffic operations, safety assessment, and decision support. 

 

 

Across my career, I have worked on both policy-oriented and research-driven projects, collaborating with universities, public authorities, and industry partners in international settings. I value methodological rigor, interpretability, and reproducibility, and I am particularly interested in applying data-driven approaches to real-world challenges where system behavior, uncertainty, and human decision-making play a central role. My broader goal is to contribute analytical and computational tools that improve safety, efficiency, and sustainability in complex socio-technical systems.

Focus Areas

  • Transportation systems modeling: traffic flow theory, motorway operations, lane-changing dynamics, and corridor-level performance analysis.
  • Safety & risk analytics: surrogate safety, pre-crash dynamics, behavioral markers, and incident/crash risk modeling.
  • Data fusion & trajectory reconstruction: integrating loop detectors, CCTV/video analytics, and floating-car/probe data into high-resolution, routable trajectories.
  • Machine & deep learning: supervised/unsupervised learning, deep models (e.g., GNN/LSTM), clustering, and behavior pattern discovery in large-scale mobility data.
  • Time-series & state-space modeling: forecasting, anomaly detection, and recursive filtering for latent-state estimation under noise and partial observability.
  • End-to-end analytics engineering: reproducible Python (PyTorch, scikit-learn, PyMC, statsmodels, Spark) and R workflows, cloud pipelines (AWS/Azure), geospatial analysis, and decision-support outputs for stakeholders.

Let's Connect

I collaborate on problems where systems are dynamic, uncertainty is real, and decisions carry weight. Whether in academic research, industrial analytics, or strategic data initiatives, I focus on translating multi-source data into structured models and actionable understanding.

If your project involves complex systems, heterogeneous data sources, uncertainty, or behavior-driven dynamics, and you need more than surface-level reporting, I am interested in collaborating. I work on problems that require structured modeling, rigorous validation, and transparent, reproducible analytical pipelines; from raw data integration to interpretable predictive models.

Whether you are developing a research proposal, designing a data-intensive product, investigating risk patterns, or seeking deeper system-level understanding, I am open to discussing how analytical modeling and advanced data science can meaningfully contribute.
