Data Fusion

Producing more accurate, consistent, and useful information from heterogeneous sources

About Me

I am a transportation system modeler and data scientist with a PhD in Engineering Science (Transportation) 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. 

 

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, loop detectors, 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.
