John Nolen Drive Traffic Flow Improvement

Traffic Control / VISSIM Simulation

A graduate traffic-control project using PTV VISSIM, HCS, and Excel to evaluate 2035 traffic growth and improvement strategies along John Nolen Drive in Madison. I led the analysis and quality control, comparing no-build, signal-optimized, and geometry-refined scenarios. Results showed 2035 growth could increase delay by 60–85% and queues by 3×, while signal and geometry improvements provided targeted but capacity-limited benefits.

Connected and Automated Vehicles in Adverse Weather

Advanced Traffic Modeling / CAVs

A VISSIM-based advanced traffic modeling project evaluating how Connected and Automated Vehicles may improve traffic performance under normal, fog, and rain conditions along Madison's Beltline corridor. The study compared human-driven vehicles and CAVs using weather-based speed reductions, Wiedemann 99 car-following parameters, lane-changing behavior, and performance metrics such as delay, stops, stop delay, and speed.

North Mendota Parkway Design

Highway Design / Civil Infrastructure

A graduate highway-design project developing a conceptual 4.75-mile North Mendota Parkway corridor in Dane County. The work evaluated alternative alignments, farmland/hydrologic/terrain constraints, vertical and horizontal geometry, AASHTO Green Book design standards, traffic forecasting, and six intersection concepts to support a rural principal arterial design.

Fair Fares or Financial Burdens?

Urban Transportation Planning / Transit Equity

A graduate urban transportation planning project reviewing transit fare policy through equity, affordability, and financial-sustainability lenses. The study examined how fare structures can burden low-income, zero-car, and suburban riders, and evaluated tools such as fare capping, means-based discounts, fare-free pilots, and account-based fare systems using Madison as a local application case.

CAV Efficiency at Stop-Controlled Intersections

MATLAB Simulation / Connected and Automated Vehicles

A MATLAB simulation project evaluating how Connected and Automated Vehicles could improve operations at stop-controlled intersections. I developed a simulation framework comparing HDV and CAV parameters, added a safety-check conflict-resolution algorithm, and tested performance through a detailed single-run case and 50,000 randomized multi-run trials across varying intersection complexity.

Advanced Air Mobility State-of-Practice Review

Advanced Air Mobility / Aviation Infrastructure

An independent study report synthesizing Advanced Air Mobility developments across aircraft typologies, certification frameworks, vertiport infrastructure, FAA/NASA initiatives, market readiness, and governance challenges. The project reviewed eVTOL, eSTOL, lift-plus-cruise, and hybrid fly-drive systems to assess how AAM may evolve from demonstration flights toward scalable mobility services.

Disaster Resistant Buildings

Foundational Civil Engineering / Structural Resilience

An early civil engineering project reviewing disaster-resistant building strategies for earthquakes, floods, cyclones, and blast/nuclear hazards. The presentation connected structural planning, foundation choices, building geometry, damping systems, flood-proofing methods, and case studies to show how civil engineering can reduce risk under extreme events.

Engineering Communication / Applied Physics

An early technical communication project connecting engineering physics with football. The presentation explained how ball properties, force, momentum, drag, the Magnus effect, Bernoulli's principle, and surface-induced pressure differences shape famous shots such as Roberto Carlos' curve shot, Cristiano Ronaldo's knuckleball, and David Beckham's dip-and-curl shot.
