Dear Prospect Students,
I would like to recruit 1-2 PhD students to work in the area of testing, modeling, and control of connected automated vehicles (CAVs) at University of Massachusetts Lowell. One potential research topic is related to my NSF CAREER award project “Conflicting Traffic Streams with Mixed Traffic: Modeling and Control” (link), which will test and model the lane-changing behavior of CAVs and devise control strategies. Another potential topic is on “Understanding the Impacts of Automated Vehicles on Traffic Flow Using Empirical Data” (link) sponsored by NSF, which will (i) test the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) systems of different car-makers and their counterparts, regular vehicles (RVs), and (ii) formulate car-following models that capture the similar and differentiating features of ACCs and regular vehicles. More potential topics can be found on my webpage: https://sites.google.com/site/danjuechen/research/projects
Conditions:
(1) I’m looking for students with (a) STRONG motivation to explore cutting-edge transportation problems and solutions, (b) good analytic capability and math/programming skills, and (c) good writing and oral communication skills (e.g., TOEFL and GRE are required; preferably, GRE writing is 4 or above).
(2) Full research assistantship will be provided. Engineering/science/math background is preferred. Master degree is preferred but not required.
(3) If you are interested, please send me an email with your resume and transcripts (informal).
Starting time: Summer/Fall 2021.
My team? – I’m an Assistant Prof at the Dept. of Civil & Environmental Engineering at the University of Massachusetts Lowell. I obtained my Ph.D. from Georgia Institute of Technology and B.S. from Peking University. I worked as a researcher at UC Berkeley and University of Wisconsin-Madison. Recently, I have received the prestigious NSF CAREER award. I have published over 15 papers on the top journals in transportation such as Transportation Research Part B and C. For more information about the work and the team, please visit my department webpage (https://www.uml.edu/engineering/civil-environmental/faculty/chen-danjue.aspx) or research Website.
Why UMass Lowell? – It’s located in the big Boston area, one of the most well-developed regions and the easiest places to find a job. Dr. Chen has been conducting cutting-edge research in the exciting area of connected automated vehicles and traffic flow theories.
Feel free to contact me if you have any question.
Sincerely,
Danjue Chen
Assistant Professor
University of Massachusetts Lowell
