Writing & Reflections
Selected academic reports, technical papers, and personal reflections showing how I think through transportation systems, emerging mobility, equity, simulation, and resilience.
When Hard Times Won’t Go Away
A reflective poem about endurance, inner fatigue, comparison, failure, and the decision to keep fighting despite emotional heaviness. The piece uses the metaphor of being trapped inside the hardest level of a game, moving from the temptation to quit toward a final assertion of resilience.

Fair Fares or Financial Burdens?
A state-of-the-art review of public transit fare policy and equity implications, comparing fare structures such as flat fares, distance-based pricing, zone-based pricing, off-peak discounts, fare capping, means-based programs, and fare-free transit through vertical, horizontal, and spatial equity lenses.
